Hi all,

At http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/mspgcc you will a new version of msp430-gdbproxy which supports the latest devices, and under Windows supports Spy-Bi-Wire. Spy-Bi-Wire requires a USB FET tool. Linux support for Spy-Bi-Wire will have to wait until Linux support for the USB FET tool is complete.

msp430-gdbproxy will not talk to GDB until it has found a target device (I should probably change this, but its how things work now). Therefore, a new command line parameter, --spy-bi-wire, is required to start the program in Spy-Bi-Wire mode, so it can initially find the target device. So, to use a Spy-Bi-Wire device you need to start the program with a command like:

   msp430-gdbproxy --port=3333 msp430 --spy-bi-wire TIUSB

From GDB the interface type can be changed with
   monitor interface jtag
or
   monitor interface spy-bi-wire


Windows users
-------------

Download HIL.dll, MSP430.dll and msp430-gdbproxy.exe. If you have the Windows installer for MSPGCC installed, put these files in c:/mspgcc/bin


Linux Users
-----------

Download libHIL.so, libMSP430.so and msp430-gdbproxy. Put libHIL.so and libMSP430.so in /usr/local/lib and run /sbin/ldconfig. Put msp430-gdbproxy wherever you put your other MSPGCC binaries.


Regards,
Steve
