Hello.
First off, I'm very new to the world of MCUs so please excuse any blatant ignorance.
I'm running a MacBook Pro 13" 2.7 i7, OS X 10.6. Attempting to communicate with an MSP-EXP430G2. I've successfully installed and ran mspdebug through the Terminal (at least it looks like it's running - I haven't compiled anything yet). When I connect my LaunchPad and run mspdebug it is recognized by the usb-list command (specifically, as "EZ430-RF2500" on 250:004 0451:f432) but when I run $ mspdebug rf2500 I get:
Trying to open interface 1 on 004
rf2500: can't claim interface: Permission denied
rf2500: failed to open RF2500 device
I've tried the TUSB4310 driver (http://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/digital_interface/m/videos__files/198722.aspx)
And have tried the .kext business over at (http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/faq.html#rf2500_osx) which also seemed to copy and chmod and all that properly, but still no luck connecting to the device.
I've contacted usb@ti.com and while they provided a welcomed speedy response, it didn't exactly solve my problem and more or less pointed me here.
I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. If anyone can help me connect to this thing I'd be incredibly appreciative. I'm really trying to avoid Windows again...
