libmsp430 is a friendly fork-and-fix of the canonocal TI 'MSP430DLLv3' for linux, which is previously only available as a zip file with a hard to find patch for Debian/Ubuntu.
When trying to use mspdebug using the 'tilib' option on my persoan Linux box, I could not find a working zip of 'MSP430DLLv3' to build, so I collected the patches and posted them in this repo to share.
In this fork of the fork, I manually applied the patches found here and here in addition to some fighting with the remaining compiler error for a few minutes. I then had to updated the codebase to match the upstream version of the source to allow it to work with my specific microcontroller.
master : our patched branch of MSP430DLLv3
- check out this repository
- run './ubuntu_install_prereqes.sh'
- run ' mspdebug tilib -d /dev/ttyACM0' (assuming your ti device is on ACM0) and verify you have an error loading 'libmsp430.so' on your machine
- run 'make' If you are lucky, this should just work
- NOTE: I ran into a problem building this on my Ubuntu ARM64 machine because it does not package
libboost-system. If this is also your case, run thebuild-boost.shscript to build and installlibboost-systemto link against
- NOTE: I ran into a problem building this on my Ubuntu ARM64 machine because it does not package
- run 'make install' to install the driver, so mspdebug can find the lib
- Plug in a MSP-FET430UIF device into your machine
- run ' mspdebug tilib -d /dev/ttyACM0' (assuming your ti device is on ACM0) it should work now.
