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
