That's correct, although the patch you've linked to may not work correctly for 64-bit systems. A better fix would be to change the argument type of getTiFileBytes from size_t * to uint32_t *. > There is something about it: > http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20120110173558.232840%40gmx.net&forum_name=mspgcc-users > > So I just added the patch: patch -p1 < slac460a.patch > And build the driver (Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit) > > Then I upgraded FET debbuger firmware with CCS (windows). > > After that I returned to Ubuntu and tried mspdebug: > >mspdebug tilib -d /dev/ttyACM0 > It also asked for software upgrade, which was successful. > Anyway it worked after that. > > Then I did some work in CCS and it also wanted again do to firmware upgrade. > > After that git version mspdebug upgrade did not work anymore.

That's the one issue with the library -- the library only works with a matched version of firmware. I'm not sure what the problem is in this case, but it looks like a library issue. One thing you could try is running through the downgrade/upgrade cycle just using mspdebug (don't do anything in Windows): http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/tilib.html#fet_firmware Note that in the document above, the upgrade procedure is given first. I've run through this procedure a few times with the FET I have here, and it seems to be fairly reliable. Let me know if it doesn't work for you. Cheers, Daniel -- D.L.
