I believe it's not a problem to add support for  MSP430F55xx if it is
only about register's definition.

The our clone listed on http://phenopy.net currently does not support
SpiBiWare. It's not a big problem to add this (but to find the time - is
a problem).

You may also check out the original board and it's software here:
http://goodfet.sourceforge.net/

may be it does.

Of course I tried it before I started to develop the own solution. It
did not work for me.
