I'm probably in the minority on this list saying that I actively use
mspdebug and Eclipse in Windows, and recommend it for those not
wanting to use linux if only needed for development.  (I use linux
daily in VMs and dual-boot as well.)

Attached are Windows screens.  I used a ton of different
guides/tutorials to get things working, none of which completely
worked for me (I will make one soon).  One that doesn't use mspdebug,
but gets most things pretty close in Windows is
http://springuin.nl/en/articles/launchpadwindows and in linux one that
I found to help is
http://www.43oh.com/2010/11/a-step-by-step-guide-msp430-programming-under-linux/

-- For me, using Helios, only 32-bit eclipse seems to play nice.

-- Instead of all the startup commands [set remoteaddresssize 64] etc.
I've found that I only really need [erase].  And set the debug Remote
Target settings via the gui. The lack of the [erase] command in the
Eclipse debug startup caused me hours of headache (debugging code that
sometimes wasn't running on the target).

-- The error [No symbol "download" in current context.] is because I
think [download-write-size] isn't valid for mspdebug, probably is
valid for gdbproxy.

-- After you get things working, if you want to speed up downloads
about 2x, add to change on startup the fet_block_size to 128.  See
OPTIONS in http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/manual.html

Good luck!

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
