I believe it's not a problem to add support for MSP430F55xx if it is only about register's definition. > 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? 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. > 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 Of course I tried it before I started to develop the own solution.
