How did you do this? I mean, I am now starting to build my own FET, for
which I found a document (TI's 
http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/ug/slau138k/slau138k.pdf slau138k.pdf 
document), and I intend to use it for developing under linux, using open
tools.

For this I wouldn't want to just copy schematics and make it work, but try
to understand how everything works. And so, here comes my question, how did
you manage to understand the protocol between PC and FET? Is there any
official document where it explains how it works?

Much alike to the question I posted above, did you manage to figure out the
commands on your own or did TI give you information on this (upon request or
published in their web)?


So I have some code that will work with the three processors that I use: 
149, 1611, and the 249.  One can add ones own processor to this code if 
you can figure out the magic messages that are sent to initialize them.  
It would be nice if I could get all of the magic messages.


I promise I won't ask the same question again :-) it's just that I'd like to
help (even though I have much to learn and much work to do first). Did you
use any kind of "sniffer" tool between FET and USB? I work with the 2013,
2471 and 5419 micros, so I would be glad to help adding those.

I am SURE interested :-) 

Any help would be more than welcome. Thanks in advance!
