I'm a little confused about the state of programming support in the current

MSPGCC works fine with the EZ430 on Windows and Linux.
How do I access Linux support? Is there any way (other than via the EZ430) to
support Spy-Bi-Wire programming?
If you search the mailing list you will see a burst of activity related
to this in the summer.
Right now the USB FET tools from TI - both the UIF and EZ430 - work with
Linux using the msp430-gdbproxy code at
http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/mspgcc/test/ That directory
contains versions of libHIL.so, libMSP430.so and msp430-gdbproxy which
work with the USB tools, but you may find a problem with the TUSB3410
driver for your Linux kernel. That directory also contains a patched
version of the kernel module. In your /etc/modprobe.conf file you will
need a line like:
options ti_usb_3410_5052 vendor_3410=0x0451 product_3410=0xf430
so the TUSB3410 driver knows about the USB ID of the FET tools. The
patched driver actually fixes a bug in its ability to interpret these IDs.
