It's already available in older kernels but it "knows" the MSP430-FET430UIF only in later kernels. There are ways to teach the driver to know the MSP430-FET430UIF - see <ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/msp430/ez430/ez430-on-SuSE-10.2.txt>. The EZ430 is basically the same a the MSP430-FET430UIF only that it supports just Spire-by-Wire. > According to other notes on the net, there is some sort of issue with this > driver in the 2.6.24 kernels.

Definitely, as it downloads the USB firmware to it and is a serial driver so you get to see the device /dey/ttyUSB0 when it's plugged in. > 2) Can someone give a recipe for using FET JTAG on Debian/Etch? Look at my howto which should apply with minimal changes to Debian as well. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock
