Hello all,
I am new to the list, and also to Ubuntu. I have done a hobby project
using an Olimex Msp430-169LCD board on Windows. Now I want to move it
all to my new Linux box, running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
I have installed the msp430 tool chain packages I found at
http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu, but have experienced a
problem.
The compiler seems to be running OK, and produces a binary file as
expected. The problem starts when I try to program my msp430-169 device.
msp430-gdbproxy runs OK, but if I try to start gdb, I get the following
error:
msp430-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have also tried to install the termcap-compat package to get hold of
the libtermcap.so.2, but that package depends on lib5c, which I cannot find.
To me, this indicates that I have got hold of some older version of the
gdb? Is there a newer version, not using termcaps?
I rally do not need the debugger right now, so I tried to run the
msp430-jtag to program the device as I did on windows.
It terminates with the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/msp430/bin/msp430-jtag", line 15, in <module>
from msp430.util import hexdump, makeihex
ImportError: No module named msp430.util
It seems like there are Python files missing from my installation.
Where did I go wrong? Is there an Ubuntu Feisty binary package available?
I presume I could build it all from source, but would rather not.
although I am a professional software developer, Linux is fairly unknown
to me so far.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
