Hi,

At the moment, the uif driver in mspdebug waits 0.5 seconds between
polling the device's state -- i.e. querying whether it has hit an
interrupt etc.  There's a comment that states that this poll prevents
the loss of breakpoints.

Out of curiosity I removed the usleep(500000) and was surprised to find
that it still works.  Does anyone know the circumstances in which this
is required?

I've tried this using a FET430 with a F169 and a F247 through 4-wire
JTAG and it seems to work fine.  Obviously its removal results in
significant latency improvements when single-stepping through code!

(Some wild postulation: maybe the delay's required for the EZ430 or
spy-bi-wire?)

Cheers,

Rob

p.s. I thought instead of just asking Daniel I'd ask the list.  I hope
that's OK.
