Hi Folks,
I'm new here - just getting started with the MSP architecture. Still
working with AVR, 8051, etc.
I've added support for direct parallel port I/O to the jtag library.
Those of you with modern Linux or Windows systems probably won't care.
If like me you have a pre-2.4 linux kernel that does not support ppdev,
this will allow you to run the existing jtag utilities to program your
devices.
The "directio" HIL is enabled by setting "DIRECTIO" in the environment
at compile-time. Eg.
env DIRECTIO=1 make
For more details, check the README for the jtag module. The new HIL
refactors some existing code from other HILs. I have tested this under
Linux kernel 2.2.14-5.0, Python 2.2. It may also work under FreeBSD,
but this is untested.
Cheers,
Stewart
