What's the state of linux support for EZ430-F2013 these days? I'm running
ubuntu 9.04,
which is much more recent than the versions I've seen problems reported for,
but I seem to have many of the same issues. And the cdkmsp distribution I
installed is from 2003 or so, so it's not clear whether it actually supports
spy-bi-wire over serial over TUSB3410, even if the drivers were working.

Is the serial protocol used to talk to the ez430 documented at all? I'd
like
to be able to poke at the device with a terminal emulator to see if it
responds
(thus divorcing driver issues from higher-level issues, mostly), but I
haven't
found any info on such basics as what speed the serial connection needs
to be, much less any info on command sytax...

(I'm running ubuntu under virtual box on MacOS, so I potentially have
several
layers of possible driver issues to deal with. If I could get the ez430 to
type
"Error" when I send "xyzzy", I'd be a happy camper.)

Thanks
