Hi Peter;

In the end, it turned out that my problem was that gdbproxy simply doesn't support any of the newer devices under Linux. This is rather disappointing to me, and a clear example of the problems with closed source utilities.

I ended up getting gdbproxy working under a vmware virtual machine running windows. I then ran gdb under Linux and connected via the virtual network to gdbproxy. It's a bit of a convoluted solution, but works and doesn't require a second box. I think someone else mentioned that they had been able to do this under wine as well.

Rgds,
Steve

I have the same problem with msp430-gdbproxy not seeming to know about
the more recent family members, in my case the 2417. But I find that
msp430-jtag works fine for programming the flash on this chip. I only
use gdbproxy for debugging.

Hi there,

in this line (debug: MSP430_VCC(3000)) you are telling the flash tool to supply 3 Volt to run the MSP but you probably have a PCB which is already powered. So all you have to do, is to tell your flash tool to output 0 Volt ...
something
like MSP430_VCC(0) ..

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

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.

Thanks,
Steve
