Hi Dmitry, Thanks for the feedback. So the normal MSP430 branch doesn't support this micro, ok. I take it the 55xx is not a MSP430X device ...
Does your comments regarding JTAG still apply if I just use SpyByWire? Is the GoodFet the same as the TI programmer, i.e can you use it for SpyByWire also? I take it the main problem in getting the GdbProxy tool to work, is to obtain the windows version under wine and using the latest *.dll's shipped with IAR etc I could probably hack the headers and linker scripts supplied with IAR or CCE to use with the mspgccc tools. If all of the above doesn't work, then like you say, I can resort to CCE ...
