Hello
Did anybody manage to get the ez430-rf2500 developer tool working with linux
(I'm using Kubuntu, 2.6.22-14-generic)?
I don't have/used one, but i did some development with original ez430 and Linux.
In the slau227.14 Detailed HW install it is said, that
* MSP-FET430UIF is a HID device,
* "The USB debugging interface will work without the MSP430 Application UART",
which is the second step in the HW install.
If debugging works via HID (standard human interface device
application protocol),
this might mean, that usb-serial adapter TIUSB3410 have special firmware with
implementation of this protocol. This also implies, that PC software have such
protocol communication.
If *optional* installation of the UART isn't optional at all, and all
other steps (6-10),
where COM31 is finally shown, is actual serial interface for debug and
up/download,
then i can't see, why HID was installed at all.
But new working HID device in "Mice and other pointer devices" isn't
shown, which says,
that it's not worth to mention. And this is strange.
So, if TIUS3410 firmware is very special (again), i.e. it has more
than just serial-to-usb
converting stuff, HID stuff, then i am afraid, that those of you, how
have this devices
would better to contact [email protected] and linux-usb mailing list.
Under Windows, the EZ430-RF2500 has a serial interface in addition to
the debug interface, which can communicate at 9600bps between the MSP430
and any host application which opens the relevant COM port. This
interface is something additional to the interfaces available with the
EZ430 and UIF tools.
