I'd have to agree that TI's support for JTAG pretty much sucks.
I've never been able to get gdb debugging working for the '23x0
chips (even under Windows). I won't even start in on their
non-conformance to the IEEE JTAG specs that makes it impossible
to set up a proper chain that incorporates an MSP430.
