I'm pulling out my hair (and I don't have much to lose) trying to get mspdebug 
to talk to a MSP-EXP430F5438 experimenter board through TI's MSP-FET430UIF. 
Here's what I'm getting:

$ MSPDEBUG_TI3410_FW=/opt/local/lib/mspdebug/ti_3410.fw.ihex mspdebug -d 
/dev/tty*FET* uif 
MSPDebug version 0.19 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs

Trying to open UIF on /dev/tty.MSP-FET430UIF26230...
Initializing FET...
FET protocol version is 20401000
Configured for Spy-Bi-Wire
Set Vcc: 3000 mV
fet: FET returned error code 4 (Could not find device (or device not supported))
fet: command C_IDENT1 failed
fet: identify failed
Trying again...

Here's my setup:

1. The mac is running Lion (10.7.3)
2. I've installed a tweaked TUSB3410 driver which creates the /dev/tty.MSP-FET… 
device when the FET is plugged in via USB
3. The 5438 experimenter board is plugged in via a ribbon cable to the FET
4. SW1 (power selector) switch on the experimenter board is all the way left in 
the "FET" position
5. When the FET powers up, the red LED flashes and goes out, then the green LED 
comes on solid
6. As soon as mspdebug runs, the red LED on the FET flashes and then stays on
7. The sticker on the back of the FET says v1.4a

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a windows machine (at the moment) so I 
haven't been able to check things out using official TI software. Suggestions 
are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy
