Grant,

Yes, I think you are on the right track:

:~$ cat /dev/ttyUSB0
cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

I do have what appears to be a /dev/ttyUSB0 whenever I plug in the
FET.  It is there before running gdbproxy as well as after.  It seems
to go away after I unplug the FET.  I assumed it was working ok, but
"cat'ing" it clearly shows a problem.

Your link and thought on copy-and-paste is making me believe that
maybe my udev rule has something not legit in it.  Come to think of
it, I think I may have just copy-and-pasted it off of a web page
rather than enter it manually.  That could be it!

I'm going to look into this in the morning.

Thanks, and I'll post what happens here!

- Shane

Being a straight ASCII kind-of-guy, I don't understand much
about this, but it sounds like you're getting some
interesting multi-byte character into your command line...
perhaps through the copy-and-paste mechanism
(that's pure speculation;)

OK, that's good.  But that means you shouldn't be telling
msp430-gdbproxy to use a device named "TIUSB".  The device is
named "/dev/ttyUSB0", so that's what you should tell
msp430-gdbproxy to use (as you did in the example below).

That's a new one. I've never seen nor heard of that error
before.  It looks like that error is returned by various

That means /dev/ttyUSB0 doesn't exist.  Is there still a
/dev/ttyUSB0 after you kill msp430-gdbproxy.

I don't think so.  The only thing udev can do is rename
/dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/TIUSB or create a symlink.  When it's
plugged in do you have a /dev/TIUSB?  If not, then you
shouldn't be using "TIUSB".

Michael,

Thanks for the help as well.  Can you tell me what type of Linux you
are using?

That is exactly the behavior of the FET plugging/unplugging according
to dmesg (and manually ls'ing).  That is what is so puzzling.  The
device is there and everything looks OK.

I have tried both invocations.  The strace (See above) just replaces "/
dev/ttyUSB0" with "TIUSB".  I get the same result either way.  I think
that some udev magic somehow maps the "TIUSB" back to "/dev/ttyUSB0".
What happens with your system if you use "TIUSB".  Do you have a udev
rule to make the node, or did you manually set up the USB node?

Thanks,

Shane

Hi Grant,

Thanks for the response!

Here is the strace output for the errors.  It looks like /dev/ttyUSB0
is what is being opened, but then I get this "Invalid or incomplete
multibyte or wide character" error.  Goggling isn't helping out
much.  /dev/ttyUSB0 appears when I plug in the FET, and then
disappears.  It seems to work.  The number of /dev/usbdev* devices
changes, though.  I think this has to do with bringing up additional
USB buses.  I am plugging the FET into an empty pair of ports on the
front of the PC.  This may be another bus coming up.  Still figuring
that part out.

Unplugged...
:~$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
ls: /dev/ttyUSB*: No such file or directory
:~$ ls /dev/*usb*
/dev/usbdev1.1_ep00  /dev/usbdev1.5_ep00  /dev/usbdev2.1_ep00
/dev/usbdev1.1_ep81  /dev/usbdev1.5_ep81  /dev/usbdev2.1_ep81

Plugged in...
:~$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0
:~$ ls /dev/*usb*
/dev/usbdev1.1_ep00  /dev/usbdev1.5_ep00  /dev/usbdev1.7_ep00  /dev/

I'm not an expert, but I've been using mine USB FET for the
last week with great success (thanks Grant).

If there were a permission problem, the errors from
msp430-proxy would say so... I know ... it did ;-)

If the /dev/ttyUSB0 shows up (that's how mine mounted) when
you insert the USB FET and then disappears when you remove
the USB FET, then that would seem to be working.

Finally, I noticed that my invocation of gdb-proxy is
different from yours ... it looks like this.

msp430-gdbproxy msp430 /dev/ttyUSB0

good luck,
mike

Are you sure /dev/ttyUSB0 exists and that's what
msp430-gdbproxy is trying to use?

Try running it under strace and look to see what device is
generating the ebove message;

  strace -o syscalls.txt msp430-gdbproxy --port=2000 --debug msp430 TIUSB

Hello,

I am trying to get the USB FET working under Linux, and am having the
following problem with msp430-gdbproxy (Running as non-root or root):

:~$ msp430-gdbproxy --port=2000 --debug msp430 TIUSB

debug:     msp430: msp430_open()
open: No such file or directory
error:     msp430: Could not initialize device interface (1)
debug:     msp430: msp430_open()
open: No such file or directory
error:     msp430: Could not initialize device interface (1)
...

This seems like either a permission or node creation problem, but I
have a FET rule in udev, and /dev/ttyUSB0 is being created:

:~$ls -al /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2007-10-10 17:52 /dev/ttyUSB0

I manually change the permissions to 777 and when I run gdbproxy as
root I get the same thing.  Here is my udev rule (26-ti.rules.  Note
that the MODE setting doesn't appear to work.  Very new to udev):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{product}=="MSP-FET430UIF
JTAG Tool", SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2",
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 >/sys%p/
device/bConfigurationValue'", MODE="0777"

I know the hardware is good, as I can get Code Composer to work fine
in Windows. One other little variable: I am running in VMWare
Workstation on top of W2k.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shane
