    1. Legal Company name
    2. Contact information (name, phone, e-mail) for the person who will receive th code

    If your question is different, please help me understand what you are asking.

    I was hoping that it was out of beta and "generally available" by now, since the last message was from 9 months ago...

    Hi,

     

    Is there any plan to release the final version of the TUSB3410 drivers for the MAC OS X operating systems?

     

    I believe it is still the BETA version.

     

    Regards.

    DHarmon,

    It is disappointing that a non-beta version of this driver is not planned. Mac users (and there is a growing number of us) have quite a challenge attempting to talk with TI devices natively. I use the MSP-eZ430 and the MSP-FET430UIF to program up some boards we designed using the MSP430F5137 MCU. Every time there is some major update, I have to try and remember how to install these beta drivers so that I can program and talk serially to the boards. After the lion upgrade I'm still struggling to get the serial port working with the eZ430 but at least I can program with it (albeit ridiculously slowly). Thanks to http://www.mail-archive.com/mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09260.html I can hack your beta version of the USB driver to be able to detect the serial on the FET430UIF reasonably consistently. Still, it would be much better if there was a proper OS X driver for these devices.  

    Regards,
    Phil

    Thank you for your feedback.  To be honest, we jsut do not have the resources to release a MAC driver for the TUSB3410.  The new MSP430 devices with native USB support are supported by the embedded processing team and they may be interested in this request.
