Re: [beagleboard] Production tooling (MSPGCC)

2014-03-12 Thread William Hermans
If that is the same toolchain thats been around for years, mspdebug may
have issues on any Linux. Redhat has supposedly been tasked by TI to build
an up to date toolchain that I hear was working( and had a decently working
mspdebug ).

 Then just sudo apt-get install gcc-msp430

Re: [beagleboard] Production tooling (MSPGCC)

2014-03-12 Thread Ron B.
Mspdebug is in a separate package.  The trick with getting it to work with 
the FET under Linux has been the need to build TI's MSP library.  However, 
someone has done the footwork and pulled together all the patches and fixes 
required and checked everything into github 
herehttps://github.com/BuLogics/libMSP430.  
Last I tried a few weeks ago it built and worked with the latest mspdebug 
package just fine.

[beagleboard] Production tooling (MSPGCC)

2014-03-11 Thread andnan
I am experimenting with using a beaglebone for some production tooling.  I 
would like to use desktop for a nice fancy GUI to show screening results 
and I also need to have the beaglebone program an MSP430 processor using a 
TI FET tool.

Well that's what I want, getting it is another thing.  I have a beaglebone 
and a 7 ldc from circuitco (got it awhile ago) and I'm trying to get a 
desktop installed.  I could go with the Angstrom distribution that comes 
stock but I've tried installing a ubuntu image then LXDE but LXDE hangs on 
the login screen.  I then tried installing ubuntu desktop and got the same 
results so the stock Angstrom is looking much better now.

I can work with the angstrom distribution but I need a little help in 
getting the MSPGCC tool chain running on it.  I'm strating from near zero, 
it's been a long time since I've done any linux stuff.  Can someone give me 
a roadmap on what I have to do?
