CC3000 patch fail - is it supposed to work with mspdebug?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553

I'm trying to get a CC3000 working with an MSP430G2553. The basic wifi example was responding fine when I first got the board, but since attempting to upgrade to 1.11 the basic example app hangs trying to start the wifi (wifi_start).
I don't have any Windows instances so I've been trying to do this on Linux (and OSX). I tried compiling the Driver and Firmware patch programs and in addition I tried the binary files that were included in the package. Neither seems to work

To flash them I ran:

sudo mspdebug rf2500 "prog patch-driver.out"

(wait a minute)

sudo mspdebug rf2500 "prog patch-firmware.out"

(wait a minute)

sudo mspdebug rf2500 "prog wifiexample.out"

Is this correct or have I bricked the CC3000? Is there an escape route?


Thanks in advance.

    So after a lot of head-banging I've managed to find the answer to these questions:

    1> Running mspdebug on a Mac (as described above) does work. You just need to build working patch programmers and use them. AFAICT the patch programmer distribution for MSP430G2553 does not work! If you've managed to patch from 1.10 -> 1.11 on the MSP430G2553 Launchpad then please get in touch as I'd be fascinated to know how you did it.

    2> The CC3000 was not bricked - it just spent 3 days playing dead despite everything I tried.

    3> I finally managed to hack together a working driver/firmware patch programmer and, after running them, it sprang back into life. The service pack I ended up with was 1.19 rather than 1.24 but at this point I'm just glad it's ok.
