All,
Just subscribed to the list. I have the MSP430 tools installed and working(GCC, GDBProxy, and Insight). I was just wondering if there was a method in Insight to perform a "Run and Exit"? That is use insight to download and start the program, but then leave the debugger with the device programmed and running. Regards,

You don't say if you are using Win32, Linux or BSD. On Win32 you need a gdb.ini file. On Linux and BSD yuo need a .gdbinit file. In those file you can put some GDB commands to be run at startup. Something like:

file my_buggy_msp430_code
target remote localhost:3333
monitor erase all
load
continue


will do the sort of thing you are looking for. Although you will need to edit this file to change programs, this isn't normally a problem. You can put a gdb.ini or .gdbinit file in the project directory. As you move between projects, and therefore usually between project directories, you will pick up the relevant gdb.ini file as GDB or Insight starts up.

Since as of last week there is actually something resembling a real manual on line, I could have said RTMF. Since, its not fully linked on the web site, maybe that's a little premature. :-) However, see http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/book1.html and http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/faq/t2.html
