Remote Debug via Ethernet interface?

Hi all,

 

I want to debug an MSP430-board remotely via ethernet using the debug-tools of Code Composer Studio v4. On my search for a method I found a detailed description to debug a MSP430 board using the msp430-gdbproxy.

 

Which method is used by the Code Composer Studio, does it also work using a proxy on the target device (or on the FET-debugging tool)?

 

Has anybody some hints, how I can do the debugging remotely, using an ethernet connection?

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hi Germue,

     

    the only such setup I have experience with is using an ethernet to USB box.   Ie I had the MSP-FET430UIF connected to a ethernet to USB box.   Then over the network,  you could connect to this remotely for debugging (with the proper drivers and CCS installed of course).

    The setup worked, however it was not so convenient as with the device and FET being remote, it was not the most convenient to power cycle or access the hardware.

    I hope this helps, but am no such expert on such a setup as our MSP430 FET tool is actually a USB device.

    Lisa,

    We use the F28335 in a box which controls the direction a communication dish points to get the strongest link between us and a moving object.  Our development setup is using Code Composer connected to a Blackhawk emulator, USB2000 Controller, through a USB interface.  When in use the dish and control box are up on the roof of our building.  We just started looking at a Ethernet to USB connection,

    and wondered if there was an option for Code Composer to connect to this through Ethernet and thus update our code remotely.  In looking at your response, are there drivers which would allow us to do this.

    Hi  Curtis,

    something like that should work.  I can make no guarantees as of course this is not something that I am aware of has been tested.  It certainly should work and as long as there are no glitches in the USB conversion, CCS should be able to grab the device through the adapter as through a normal USB port.


    I hope this helps.
