i made a new mini project:
create a standalone executable for product updates with the parallel jtag adapter. everything is built in one single exe file. intented use are field updates of products, where a parallelport jtag adapter is available but you dont want to bother the users with command line tools or debugging tools for just a download ;-)

i (ab)use the nullsoft installer to create an application, it does not realy install anything. it uses msp430-jtag.exe, packed together with the giveio driver and the msp430 binary for the download.

you can get the sources in the CVS: pyjtag/jtag-updater.nsi
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mspgcc/pyjtag/jtag-updater.nsi

oh, and while i was at it, i made a similar nsi file for the BSL. it's slightly different in that way, that it also asks for a COM port and then uses msp430-bsl.exe. so this one needs a serial connection and a product with wired BSL.

you can get the sources in the CVS: pybsl/bsl-updater.nsi
this one also needs the pybsl/bsl-updater.ini file
