MSPDebug
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
MSPDebug is a free debugger for use with MSP430 MCUs. It supports
|
|
FET430UIF, eZ430, RF2500 and Olimex MSP430-JTAG-TINY programmers, as
|
|
well as many other compatible devices. It can be used as a proxy for
|
|
gdb or as an independent debugger with support for programming,
|
|
disassembly and reverse engineering.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Userspace only: no kernel modifications required.
|

* Works with RF2500, eZ430, FET430UIF (V2 and V3), Launchpad, Chronos,
|
|
GoodFET, Olimex MSP430-JTAG-TINY and MSP430-JTAG-ISO programmers.
|
|
Also supports the TI flash bootloader.

|
and/or a GDB client.
|
|
* Can single-step, program, run to breakpoint and inspect memory on
|
|
supported devices.
|
|
* Can be used to access the FET430UIF bootloader.
|

* Supports Intel HEX, ELF32, BSD symbol table, COFF, TI Text and
|
|
SREC file formats.
|
|
* Can disassemble code in memory, including translating addresses to
|
|
symbols.
|
|
* Includes reverse-engineering features such as instruction search,
|

Compiling from source
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Ensure that you have the necessary packages to compile programs that use
|
|
libusb (on Debian or Ubuntu systems, you might need to do apt-get
|
|
install libusb-dev | on Arch systems, you might need to do sudo
|
|
pacman -S libusb-compact). After that, unpack and compile the source code
|
|
with:
|
|
|
|
tar xvfz mspdebug-version.tar.gz
|
|
cd mspdebug-version
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
On Debian Ubuntu systems sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev may be
|
|
required. On Arch systems sudo pacman -S readline may be required.
|
|
If you don't want GNU readline support, you can invoke make with:
|
|
|
|
make WITHOUT_READLINE=1
|
|
|
|
After compiling, install the binary and manual page by running (as
|
|
root):
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Type "mspdebug --help" for usage instructions.
