Hi,
I want to use the msp gcc toolchain on my Mac. Creating the compilers
etc. should work (hope so). But before I spend effort I like to know
if there is a debug interface for Mac OS? Macs have no parallel ports
anymore. I assume USB is the only possibility.
If there is no USB debug interface - has someone experience with a
USB->parallel port interface on Mac OS?
Thanks for your feedback,
Peter
For practical purposes a parallel port to USB gadget is useless. It can
be made to work, but the speed is too slow to be usable. There are USB
JTAG gadgets in development, but it will probably be 2-3 months before
they are working properly. These have an MCU in the gadgets, and offload
the JTAG control to that. The performance can then be very good.
