Per the below Olimex email, Olimex does not test their USB programmers with GDB. The drivers from Olimex for the USB programmer have not been tested with GDB, and may not work.
I bought two TI parallel port versions of the MSP430 JTAG and hope to get that to work with GDB. The FreeRTOS web site says how to do this. greg -----Original Message----- From: Support OLIMEX Ltd.

I may have to fall back to the parallel port version.

You then need to copy the "SiUSBXp.dll", "FTD2XX.dll", and "MSP430.dll" from the Olimex software into the directory with your gdbproxy.exe, overwriting the original files. Once that's in place, the Olimex debugger should work fine with JTAG using gdbproxy (or the latest version of the python downloader tools). I don't know whether it works with the spy-bi-wire interface, as I've never tried it. mvh., David > Rasche, Greg schrieb: > > Hi All, > > > > I downloaded the file named mspgcc-20060502.exe from here > > http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42303 > > > > I need to use GCC and GDB, and need to get the proxy agent working. > > Per this thread... > > http://www.nabble.com/Updated-msp430-gdbproxy-t1494599.html > > > > For me, (Windows user) there are 3 new files to download HIL.dll, > > MSP430.dll and msp430-gdbproxy.exe.
