Sorry, I may have mislead you. I'm sticking for now with 3.2.3 for similar reasons. The difference is that I've started testing with the latest build with latest patches. > Now > that we have the debian repository though, there is no reason not to > allow alternate msp430 packages to be installed (or other tools for > that matter).

I see several people on the list interested in using the new msp430 parts, so availability of 'testing' packages via the Stanford repo should help to scratch their collective itches and provide an early group of testers. I'll plan on pushing some patches your way for consideration in the next week or two. The problem is that I'm not up to speed on apt package development, so I may need your review and feedback on the patches to get them into shape for inclusion.
