Hi all,
ftp://ftp.soft-switch.org/pub/msp430-gdbproxy.exe is a new version of
gdbproxy using the latest library code from TI. This means it supports
the latest devices, like the 21x1, and the 42x0. It also means it works
with the USB FET tool.
Support for updating the firmware in the USB FET tool, and installing
the USB driver, is not yet available. However, you can use the free
kickstart package from the TI website for that, on Windows machines.
The USB FET tool looks like a serial port, and has a COMxx device name.
Like all USB ports, this name will depend on where the tool is plugged
in. Find the COM port name, using the Windows device manager, and then
run gdbproxy with a command like:
msp430-gdbproxy --port=3333 msp430 COMxx
I haven't tested this extensively, but it seems to work so far. I will
try to make it more automatic later.
So far I have only made a binary for Windows. I think making one for
Linux, with the USB features disabled, is easy. I will try to do that in
the next few days. Making the USB FET tool work on Linux machine might
take more effort.
Regards,
Steve
