Hi all,

I think is one of the most asked questions in this list and it has been
bothering me for two days. And finally I think I got an acceptable solution.

The main problem is that new devices are not supported by linux libraries,
and then msp430-gdbproxy must be run in windows in order to use dll from CCE
or IAR.

The basic idea is to run msp430-gbdproxy.exe (windows version with windows
dlls) using wine.

First of all thanks to Stephen Glow who has published almost this solution
and posted basic files, and gave me the idea and how to get it running.

First step is to get msp430 usb fet working. Just download file from
http://www.embeddedintelligence.com/mspfet_driver.zip, unzip and follow the
instructions.

Following those instructions you must see a serial port in /dev/ttyUSB0

Next step is to install wine (which is not in the scope of this basic
howto).

Next step is to create a virtual port inside wine. Just go to
~/.wine/dosdevices and type: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 COM1

Then unzip http://www.embeddedintelligence.com/wingdbproxy.zip in
~/.wine/drive_c

Final step is to get it working, just type:

wine c:\\msp43-gdbproxy.exe --debug msp430 COM1

Note that it seems impossible to update fet firmware using wine (don't know
why), so, if needed just use a different window machine to update fet
firmware using standard way.

Questions and comments, below.
