Both TI and Olimex make USB->JTAG programmers/debuggers

seem to be any Linux support for these.

The TI ones (both the 6-wire JTAG and the 2-wire
spy-bi-wire) work fine under Linux using msp430-gdbproxy.

I've looked at the gdbproxy, but I'm having a hard time
understanding exactly what it uses to talk to the USB
JTAG device.

If the Olimex USB widgets work with the TI .dll files
under Windows, then I believe they'll work with
msp430-gdbproxy under Linux as well. My understanding is
that if Olimex has to provide custom .dll files for their
USB widgets, then they won't work.

Sorry ... I'm old and confused, but don't the .dll libraries
only run under Windows? Or is there some WINE stuff going
on here?

Here's the definitive place for answers on gcc/gdb and
the MSP430:

I've gone down this path, but the question
"seems" un-answered.

The best related thread that I found here was yours,
Grant. :-)

Sorry about being *thick*, but I just like to understand
how these things work before I fork out the cash.

thanks,
mike
