    In general we validate Code Composer Studio with the 2 most recent LTS versions of Ubuntu. Currently that is Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04. The latest version of Code Composer Studio is 7.2.0.

    To work with the MSP-EXP430F5438 you will need a debug probe such as the http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-fet
    Note that the older www.ti.com/.../msp-fet430uif is not compatible with Linux.

    Siva,

    The issue with Linux and MSP430 devices is that the older debug probes are not supported. Some development boards come with a debug probe built onto the board. If that the built-in probe is an eZ430 then you will not be able to use it. If it is a newer model it is fine.

    The board you referenced: www.ti.com/.../MSP-EXP430F5438 has a JTAG header that you can use to connect an external debug probe such as the MSP-FET. This will work on Ubuntu 17.04.

    Regards,
    John
