Who has MSP430 spy-i-wire specs?

Hello to all,

does anyone has the specifications of ti's new spy-bi-wire interface?

I am working with MSPGCC and some own boot equipment (serial and usb)
on Linux since 2002 and I don't want to leave this very efficient
unix environment. My plan is to modify my existing usb2serial board
(TUSB3410 with a MSP430F148 attached) for the spy-bi-wire so it
would be usable on my linux box.

Best Regards,
Bodo

The Spy-By-Wire specs are distributed by Texas Instruments to 3rd party
tool providers under NDA.
Why don't you contact Texas Instruments and ask for the specs?
No one who signed NDA will give you the specs.

This is bad. One of my reasons to switch over to TI's MSP was the open
accessible bootloader feature of the old chips. Easy to handle with my
home brewed linux loader/monitor. I really don't want to work with
windows just due to TI's F2xx series...

I'll try to do this. May be they give these information to my little
hardware development company too.
