Thanks for the info here and in the "MSP-FET430UIF on linux" thread. My fully updated Ubuntu 9.04 is running with kernel version 2.6.28-16. There is no /dev/ttyACMn with the eZ430-RF2500 plugged in. The just officially released Ubuntu 9.10 includes kernel version 2.6.31 (it took some doing to ferret out this information). I guess this is ample justification to upgrade soon! BTW, I just discovered that the eZ430-RF2500 Windows application UART software apparently doesn't support XON/XOFF flow control. However, if I connect the RF2500T module's UART lines through an FTDI serial-to-USB cable, XON/XOFF works under both Windows and Linux. I'm testing this using Chris Liechti's "miniterm" example app based on his "pyserial" Python serial port extension. It will be interesting to see if XON/XOFF works directly with the eZ430-RF2500 USB emulator under Linux once I upgrade. --John
