in theory, you should be able to run "make" in the jtag dir, which
should build all the libs.
there is a "make install" in the "python" dir.
all you have to make sure manualy is that libMSP430mspgcc.so, libHIL.so
are somewhre where they can be found (typicaly /usr/local/lib) and
either ctypes has to be installed (probably comes prepackaged for you
distro) or you can copy _parjtag.so to the same dir as msp430-jtag is
(/usr/local/msp430/bin is the default as it is for the other mspgcc tools)
there are readmes in the "jtag" and "python" dirs that should explain at
least a little bit.
What I'd like to do is write a simple C program that
will write some bits into the Info area.
Looking at the parjtag.c python lib, it seems I should
be able to write a similiar more simple program that
makes a few calls to MSP430_xxxx.
yes, if you like to write apps in C, you can do that. but consider that
not calling the MSP430_xxx function is th work, its getting the data
from the disk, error handling, flexility for different use cases, ...
i like C for many apps, but not for entire applications on the PC. i'm
also using the python modules for scripts like saving calibration values
from the flash and reprogramming with a new version. and once if they
are installed, the end user shouldn't care about in which language the
tools are written ;-)
