Chris, Thanks for the suggestions. Quickly tried msp430-jtag at the command line to download a program (even without the -R command) and it is much, much faster. Even better, it looks like msp430-jtag co-exists with gdbproxy. Just need to update the makefile and configure Eclipse to use the new Make target and everything should Just WorkT.
Thanks again, aLUNZ > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Chris Liechti > Sent: Thursday, 23 June 2005 10:44 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] ANN: updated win32 installer > > Alan Scott wrote: > > Have downloaded and installed the new version (after > uninstalling the > > previous version).
