Hi All,   Soucre code is hosted on Google code. http://code.google.com/p/msp430lpcdc/   Here is the latest link to the Driver. - Version 1.0.3b http://code.google.com/p/msp430lpcdc/do ... g&

Finally mashed together a complete set of code to use as base, using mostly apple's code.   Current status.   The KEXT attached nicely to interface, with a BSD TTY port exposed. on the first look

Got a good working commit today, but need to press connect and disconnect a few times to get it to work. Next is clean up, since we know what device we are dealing with, I will remove all unnecessary

Pentium,

Could you write a small guide for this? or rather if anyone can. I can put this up on the blog. Many would be glad to hear this.

 

Ok, will do. I actually have an installer for it, so it is pretty straight forward. Just that I missed out on the code less KEXT blocking the port.. slipped my mind totally since I am not a mspdebug user.

 

My main concern now is to make sure I have it properly setup for mspdebug users. once someone can confirm that both programing and serial can work concurrently, I will release it to the public for testing after that the source for it.

 

Regards,

Terence

Now it's working on the macbook pro with 10.6.8!

This comes at the perfect time for a project in wich I need to pass data to Max/MSP on a mac.

Big thanks to PentiumPC!

 

Hey, I need to know what happen, mind sharing..haha..

are you on v1.0.1b?? with the new link I sent?

Did you remove the code less next to get it to work?

 

do I need to block apple's HID driver?

I just removed the kext and restarted as you suggested.

Now I will try to test if programming works with the launchpad.

 

if you don't mind, I have sent you a new link, let me know if 1.0b or 1.0.1b works with mspdebug.

Thanks for your great help.

 

I can code driver etc.. but somehow cannot get mspdebug to work on my system.. lol..

That version is probably fine for the Launchpad, but you guys will want to really try to see if you can get a newer version or the CVS/SVN version. Lots of fixes and support for new hardware (e.g. FRAM parts) have been added since 0.12 was released (0.12 is almost 1 year old now).

 

Even with the older version, you can still use a force option to try to make it connect to the FET on unrecognized hardware.

Me too, I'm really intrested in trying it.

The laziness of most IC companies have made FTDI sell millions and millions of FT232RL

Great work PentiumPC!

 

Funny that you say that. Even TI uses these on some of the boards. The Piccolo controlStick has one.

Good to hear that, at least I don't have to fiddle with the drivers if I need to get it to work on a Mac.. haha..

I'm using binaries from http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com/

AppleUSBCDCDriver 1.0.1b.pkg

:clap:

 

Great to see it working.. Arggh.. I named the file wrongly.. should be "MSP430LPCDC 1.0.1b.pkg".

Sorry for being long winded, so can I confirm v1.0b doesn't work with mspdebug?

 

Just to be sure I need to block the HID drivers.

Terence

I guess that's why it's only 25% off, from the picture it looks like a ft2232, wich is quite expensive.
