MSP-EXP430G2ET: Symbol format 'elf32-msp430' unknown in msp430-elf-gdb

Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2ET
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430-GCC-OPENSOURCE,

Tool/software:

Hi, 

I'm trying to debug a file with the msp430-elf-gdb in the msp430-gcc-opensource toolchain. I have assembled an assembly source file with msp430-elf-as and when I try to load it into msp430-elf-gdb with "file build/program.elf," I get the message "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. Symbol format `elf32-msp430' unknown." What can I do to remedy this situation? 

Let me know if any other information is needed. I am using the MSP-EXP430G2ET development board and communication with the device is functional.

Thanks, 

David

    I don't get that error so it must be something that you are doing.
