MSP-GANG: Program using UNIFLASH on Linux

Part Number: MSP-GANG
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, MSP430F5510

We would like to use the MSP-GANG https://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-GANG from a Linux operating system to program MSP430.

Our experience programming with Linux has been using UNIFLASH https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH 

Are these compatible, and if not, are there other options to using the MSP-GANG from Linux (e.g. MSP Flasher https://www.ti.com/tool/MSP430-FLASHER or otherwise)

Thank you,

Dave

  • AFAIK, there is no CLI for MSP-GANG and MSP-GANG GUI is limited to Windows only (but wait for confirmation from TI side).

    If Linux is must for you, and there is no support for MSP-GANG, than my MSP-GANG like SBW+ flasher with CLI PC side that is working on Linux can be used.
