Latest MSP-FET effectively unsupported under Linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

MSP430Flasher-1_03_03_00-linux-installer.run just segfaults on one of my Linux computers.


On another it installs, but every time I try to use it I get:

# Exit: 19
# ERROR: Interface Communication error


Seems like there's no real support for v3 firmware in open-source land.

So MSP-FET is unusable under Linux.

    MSPDebug (with tilib) works fine for me.

    (I had to compile the MSP debug stack myself, but that's because my Linux has no 32-bit support.)

    Ditto ... mspdebug works great with the latest MSP Debug Stack and MSP-FET.

    I got installation working in a Ubuntu Oneiric 64 bit. It presents a GUI-splash screen and then installs in your home directory. It needs no sudo to install. It has been pointed out that copying the directory MSP430Flasher_1.3.3 (created upon install) can be copied to a current Ubuntu/Linux system and it WORKS!

    So Texas instrument should no longer provide an install package (that takes approx. 8 MB), but instead a tar.bz packed image of the runtime directory (approx 4 MB).

    Note: in order to let it work, libmsp430.so must be copied to /usr/lib:

    sudo cp libmsp430.so /usr/lib
