Thanks Eric I am also part of this project. Actually with the board currently we dont have a USB. First what we did, we generated the hex file from tinyOS and then downloaded the hex through flash programmer from TI and MSP-FET UIF debugger, flash programmer showed that the code is downloaded to the flash, but we didn't got any response from MSP-430.
Now we want to debug it. Only one option I see is to use gdb. But we with gdb, working in Linux, I think one more problem. We are using MSP-430 latest series and for these series gdb-JTAG software interfaces are not available open-source. Option for this will be to use gdbproxy. I am trying with that and still facing challenges. My question is that, are we moving in correct direction, or is there any other way(we are not aware) to make things simpler. Suggestions for further steps would also be great.
