This is normal for an erased chip. > (gdb) monitor reset > Resetting target - all methods...done > (gdb) erase > Erasing all flash memory > Erasing target flash - all... > MSP430 error: Could not preserve/restore device memory (12) I always use "monitor erase" from GDB. Not sure if "erase" has the same effect, since that's a GDB command, whereas anything prefixed with monitor is sent to the server (gdbproxy) without GDB's interference. > (gdb) monitor reset > Resetting target - all methods...done > (gdb) load pmsa.elf > Loading section .text, size 0xa2e lma 0xe000 > Load failed > > There is nothing else on this board except the uP chip, voltage regulator (3.3 > volts) and a few bypass capacitors.

MSPDebug should support this chip (let me know if it doesn't work), and would be easier to use if you just want to program, rather than debug. I assume you're using an MSP430-JTAG-TINY? If you don't have any luck getting gdbproxy working, try this: mspdebug olimex -j "prog pmsa.elf" Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Beer <dlb...@gmail.com> www.dlbeer.co.nz IRC: inittab (Freenode) PGP key: 2048D/160A553B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
