After a bit of a prod from Eric Decker, I've bitten the bullet and am
upgrading from the old gdbproxy (which has been working well for a number of
years) to mspdebug. This is running on XP, so all the following relates to a
Windows installation. My apologies if this is all a bit naive, but I've
treated the whole JTAG interface as a bit of a black box, and now have some
concerns that I may be heading somewhere I can't back out of.
 
After following a number of bouncing balls, I got mspdebug built, and the
usb drivers for the TI FET configued and installed. I then attempted to
start mspdebug, and got the following (this is all being retyped, as the
command window its all sitting in won't let me copy it - I think its all
100% correct).
 
>mspdebug -j uif
...
TI3410 device is in boot config, setting active
Initialising FET...
FET protocol version is 20402000
Set Vcc: 3000mV
Configured for JTAG (2)
fet: FET returned error code 4 (Could not find device or device not
supported)
fet: command C_IDENT1 failed
Using Olimex identification procedure
fet: FET returned error code 4 (Could not find device or device not
supported)
fet: missing info
fet: identify failed
Trying again...
 
After aborting this and reattempting mspdebug, I can get nothing else but;
 
>mspdebug -j uif
...
Searching for firmware for TI3410...
    - checking c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/lib//mspdebug/ti_3410.fw.ihex
    - checking ti_3410.fw.ihex
ti3410: unable to locate firmware
ti3410: firmware download failed
 
This lead me onto the issues with the FET firmware (I hadn't touched this up
to this point), and the documentation in the sourceforge pages on upgrading
to V3. As per the suggestions there, I have tried to dump the current
firmware before I update it, which gives me the following;
 
>mspdebug -j uif-bsl "hexout 0x2500 0xdb00 v2-firmware.hex"
...
Searching for firmware for TI3410...
    - checking c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/lib//mspdebug/ti_3410.fw.ihex
    - checking ti_3410.fw.ihex
ti3410: unable to locate firmware
ti3410: firmware download failed
 
At this point I've called a halt, as I'm a bit cautious of downloading new
firmware without some backout strategy. Can anyone give some pointers as to
the problems I'm seeing, and where I should go from here.
 
Thanks and regards - Andrew
