Hello everybody! This is my first post. I just got my MSP-EXP430F5529LP in the mail from TI, and I've been playing around with it a little trying to put together a development environment on Linux Mint (AKA Green Ubuntu). I've got an upcoming project course that uses MSP430s (something about biomechatronics), and I would like to get comfortable with the device before my courseload has me drinking three pots of coffee a day.
So far I've been able to get Energia to work, but I'd much rather write in C and set up some build commands in Geany to flash the microcontroller.
I've had some trouble setting up mspdebug to work with tilib (libmsp430.so missing and so on), so I tried to build TI's MSP debug stack as recommended. No joy - it seems that the system is unable to find the headers it needs, and various other errors (gave up on building hidapi too).
Since I've been able to get Energia to work, I know that I ought to be able to run mspdebug and control my device from the command line (none of this icky gui crap). Has someone here experienced similar difficulties with the F5529? I'd appreciate any advice about where to go from here.
Thanks!
