I'm using the same chip, and have the same problems. As a method to download programs into the CPU, I installed mspgcc on Windows (I still develop in *nix), and made sure to "Associate File Types" during the installation. Then I double-click on the .elf file on my network share, and that loads a Downloader tool. I am using this with the TI USB-FET JTAG. I'm not sure what, if any, other programmers this is compatible with.
The bigger problem I've had is getting the USB FET installed on some computers. I have it installed on one, but I forgot how. I think it was installed back when I first started in IAR. I've been unsuccessful with attempts on other computers, though I haven't put forth much effort. I've used the installation package here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42303&package_id=68584 I believe I'm using the 20080603 version.

Hi Guys; I hate to keep asking the same question, but I could really use a push in the right direction here. Can anyone tell me if the '2618 device is supported by any version of msp430-gdbproxy? I've tried the version on the sourceforge page, and also the version on soft-switch.org, but so far I consistently get an error when starting msp430-gdbproxy: --->msp430-gdbproxy msp430 /dev/ttyUSB0 Remote proxy for GDB, v0.7.1, Copyright (C) 1999 Quality Quorum Inc.

Aborted Sorry if this is a dumb question, is it documented someplace that I'm missing? If this processor isn't supported, are there any plans to update gdbproxy to add support for it? How are people working with this chip if it's not supported by gdbproxy? I really just need to program the flash, I can live without a debugger if necessary.
