Chris, Thanks for the help and information. I got it working before getting your last message on both my XP and Gentoo machines. It just had to be something stupid... and it was!
The msp430-gdb in the windows download was compiled with cygwin (it complains if I rename cygwin1.dll and notes cygwin in the startup). I have checked standard C projects in windows and managed C projects in linux. It does look like the start up in both catch the default startup code (gdb.ini and .gdbinit) gets run by msp430-gdb when it starts. This requires some modification to the gdb-target.ini... but easily accomplished. Thanks for the help. jim On Mon, 2005-09-26 at 08:37 -0500, Recoskie, Chris wrote: > Your assessment is correct.
