Part Number: MSP-FET
Hi I am using the MSP-FET device connected to a MSP430 microcontroller and I was able to output through the serial port on Windows after installing CCS Studio and the drivers that come along with it.
In Windows, I use PUTTY/Teraterm and all I have to do is specify the COM port to see the serial output that the microcontroller was generating.
On Linux, when I hook up the MSP FET via USB, I get the device /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 and the cdc_acm driver gets loaded. I installed CCS Studio and ran the driver install scripts. It seems that the UDEV rules were placed in /etc/udev.d/ correctly (Ubuntu 23.04). But when I try to use PUTTY or just using plain cat on the ACM* devices, I get no output. I am able to use things like mspdebug to connect to the FET though.
Is there something I have to do on Linux to get serial output? I read that we have to modify the driver loaded for CDC_ACM to make it not see it as a modem, is that part of a reason why it is not seeing it as a serial output?
