Hello
Thanks for the hints, however, I am still lacking some information in order
to get the MSP-FET430UIF to operate under Mac OS X.
I have performed the two steps :
$ make boot3410
$ ./boot3410
but there are no new devices in /dev.
Were you able, with your code, to connect a target for debugging, for
example using msp430-gdbproxy?
