Hello,
We are trying to use the MSP430F2013. Using the latest version of
msp430-gdbproxy from the sourceforge site (we want to run it on Linux
but also tried on Windows), we are not able to program or debug the
chip. After invoking msp430-gdbproxy in the usual way, we get a message
saying that gdbproxy was unable to detect the chip, or the chip is not
supported. When using a MSP430F2121 with an otherwise identical
configuration, it works as expected.
We are using the TI parallel port JTAG interface.
Has anyone else used the MSP430F2013 with msp430-gdbproxy, and are there
any special tricks to getting it to work? Or is there some other way in
which we could program the chip?
I note, after browsing the list archives, that someone has recently
discussed a workaround for linking for the MSP430F2013, but no mention
was made there of how to actually program it.
Many thanks for any advice.
The latest gdbproxy works with the MSP430F20xx devices using a USB FET
tool (UIF or the EZ430) and Spy-Bi-Wire. I am not clear whether it will
work with JTAG mode. I never tried during testing, as I don't have any
boards which wire out a 2013's JTAG pins (and I was not very motivated
to set something up myself).
Other toolchains, such as IAR, simply won't let you access a 2013 using
JTAG. Selecting 2013 as the device type automatically selects
Spy-Bi-Wire mode.
