Hi all, I am the happy owner of a TI EZ-430 Chronos kind-of-watch-and-dev-kit and of course I'd like to do some development on it.
I see that MSPDebug was packaged for Ubuntu Natty, however, I am on Maverick and won't switch to Natty until at least its official launch; but I don't want to wait, so I'd be happy to give a hand in backporting MSPDebug to Maverick, and packaging mspgcc4 for it too. To be honest I've never done packaging for Ubuntu but that can't be hard for a developer, can it? :) Also, a bit of an aside but maybe some EZ-430 users hanging around can tell: are there tools for re-programming the EZ-430 Chronos USB access point? Mine was unfortunately shipped with a 915 MHz / US firmware while the order (and box, and watch) was for 868 MHz / EU; the watch can be programmed to either frequency with only the EZ-430 kit, the access point cannot -- you need a box (CC Debug IIRC) from TI. I worked it around by programming the watch for 915 MHz as well, but I want a real fix. As I don't want to spend much money on returning the whole set to the seller or on buying the programming box from TI, and since the programming protocol is known, I am therefore thinking of using my Olimex ARM-USB-OCD probe (actually a generic bitbang-capable probe) and libftdi (in bit-bang mode) to implement the protocol and then reprogram the access point (maybe even provide debugging means, but that's for a 8051-link MPU so that part is out of scope here on mspgcc-users). But before I dig into this, I just want to check if no one has already done this. Thanks in advance, Amicalement, -- Albert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
