There is a problem with gdbproxy not identifying Prototype F169 parts
(XMS prefix, XMS430F169). gdbproxy is supposed to support Preliminary
F169 parts (PMS prefix?), but chokes on the Prototype parts with an
"Unknown Device" error.
Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone else even have any of these parts?
I traced the problem to a "signature" gdbproxy is looking for within the
last 16 bytes of the BSL code. All F169 have 0xF1, 0x69 at addresses
0xFF0-0xFF1. (Just like all F149s have 0xF1, 0x49.) Address 0xFF2 is
where the problem occurs: gdbproxy is looking for 0x00, while the
prototype parts have a 0x10.
Does anyone know the significance of address 0xFF2?
I seem to remember reading something about it, but can't seem to find it
now.
