Our probelm is the following: We want to put an Intel Hex-file via parallel port to the jtag-interface using jtag.exe. jtag.exe is here called by an other programm, not run directly from console.
ours is named msp430-jtag.exe are you using this tool or some other third party tool?
The MSP430 is correctly programmed, but at the end the calling program crashes. Our only solution so far is to build in a wait at the end for some seconds, and to disconnect jtag-hardware from the parralel port within that wait-time. Our suspicion is, that the access of the parallel-port is not properly closed, but we are not sure, if we are guessing right.
the way msp430-jtag uses the parallel port on windows with our HIL.dll, should not crash the application. it accesses the IO ports directly, and there is no such thing as "closing the port". there is even an option to leave the JTAG pins in an "ON" state on exit and i have not had any problems.
do you realy use the HIL.dll provided my mspgcc or one from the TI FET kits? (the dependency walker, comes wit the console tools on the XP CD or as separate download from the internet, could help here, finding out which library is loaded.)
