Software setup

udev rules

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/62-msp-exp430f5529lp.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2047", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0013", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

GDB server

To build:

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mspdebug/code mspdebug
$ cd mspdebug
$ make

To run:

$ ./mspdebug ezfet gdb

This starts a gdb server on port 2000, however doesn't seem to allow flashing of the device (although you can debug, and step through programs).

$ wget http://www-s.ti.com/sc/techzip/slac460.zip
$ unzip slac460.zip
$ cd MSPDebugStack_OS_Package

$ wget http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/misc/slac460f_unix.diff
$ patch -p1 <slac460f_unix.diff

$ cd ThirdParty
$ chmod +x install_thirdparty.sh 
$ ./install_thirdparty.sh 

$ cd ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

This creates libmsp430.so, which allows the tilib driver of mspdebug to be used.

Toolchain

$ apt-get install gcc-msp430 msp430-libc msp430mcu gdb-msp430
