I believe Elprotronic offer a pro version of their FET430 software with an API such that you can embed it inside your own program. IIRC the cost is around $80USD. The automatic serial number programming is also a nice feature.
I agree though that it would be nice to see better support for the 2 and 5 family chips in the mspgcc universe (including debugging!). If only Ti would make its FET information free/open instead of NDA protected as it is now. They are only hurting themselves - I am shying away from ever basing a product on MSP430 again after the issues we had with development for the MSP2418. IMO, IAR and CCE are two poor choices (big cost and poor quality, respectively), but they seem to be the only viable options. - Wayne Sent via BlackBerry® from Vodafone -----Original Message----- From: "JMGross" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 20:21:21 To: MSPGCC mailing list,<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP430F54xx programming under windows Hi! Many thanks for the link to Elprotronic. The programmer software works fine. It has a tendency to UI hangs (as many programs have which are built with WindowsForms and without proper thread splitting between UI and work), but if you know that you shouldn't touch it while running... It handles not only the USB programmer but also the LPT programmer I already have, so I don't have to switch th eprogrammer when switching from one project to another. Nice thing is that you can specify the configuration (processor, memory setup, usb/LPT etc.) and the code file as commandline parameters. It does not run without interaction though. But way better than nothing. I'd still love to see msp430-jtag support the USB programmer and/or the 54xx series.
