Hi all,
I have updated ftp://ftp.soft-switch.org/pub/msp430-gdbproxy.exe
This version works much better with the USB FET tool. It will find the
tool for itself now, if you say
msp430-gdbproxy msp430 USB
or
msp430-gdbproxy msp430 TIUSB
It also verifies the USB FET tool has the right version of firmware, and
complains if it does not. You can now update the firmware using
msp430-gdbproxy, but saying
msp430-gdbproxy msp430 --update-usb-fet TIUSB
You can blow the security fuse with a USB FET tool (but not a parallel
port one) using:
monitor secure BLOWblowBLOW
the last part is to make it reasonably hard to blow the fuse by accident.
The Vcc is controllable, and checkable, with the USB FET tool. You can
set it with commands like:
monitor vcc 2.5
You can test the current Vcc (actually measured by an ADC in the USB FET
tool) using:
monitor vcc check
The USB tool is *much* faster at loading code into the target's flash
memory.
Regards,
Steve
