I tested the new open source version of the MSP430-FET430UIF access library and here are my first results.
The archive can be downloaded here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430.dll_v3 I managed it to compile the lib with the x86-gcc on linux and created a cmake project for this. Then i recognized that the lib was rather huge and had a deeper look inside. The reason for the size of the binary was the device database in the sub folder TemplateDeviceDb. As i was interested in the contents i extracted it to a file. Later on i changed the output to C-files and used it as input for the main library. Now i have a readable version of the device database and a new msp430 shared lib. To use the lib with linux and my UIF tool, i had to create a new connection class. The existing one for Win uses boost for the serial device, so i just added an open to the USB device file /dev/ttyACM0 and was able to connect to the UIF. Its a simple start but it works. The next step was the connection to a 5xx device. After a while i could identify the device, power it up and did some single steps. It looks very promising to me. For those who like to share my results, her is the project page with the download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/msp4linux/files/ msp4linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
