Get error "tilib_api: can't find libmsp430.so: libmsp430.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"
Get this error when I run mspdebug tilib. Is there anything I can do? libmsp430.so is a 32 bit file which I pulled from http://energia.nu/download/. I've tried putting it in /usr/lib, /usr/lib32 and some other paths but still the same issue. I would appreciate any assistance.
Should add I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04.
I actually solved my issue with the instructions here: https://github.com/chintal/toolchains/blob/master/msp430-gcc-ti.md under the heading 'Installing 64-bit libmsp430.so v3.8'. Sadly my MSP still appears to be bricked (was trying to do a firmware upgrade) but I appreciate the tool!
Really sorry for all the posts. Looks like I spoke too soon, just had to try a couple of times to get it. I now get about this far: `MSPDebug version 0.24 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs Copyright (C) 2009-2016 Daniel Beer [email protected] This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

That looks like the interface between mspdebug and the library itself is working, but there is some issue between the library and the firmware.
Unfortunately you might have to try the firmware update -- either that, or check with TI. The error codes quoted in the mspdebug output come straight from TI's library.
Cheers, Daniel

I took the risk and upgraded through Code Composer. It worked no problem. Thank you very much.
tilib: MSP430_OpenDevice: Device database not loaded. (error = 98)
It seems that slac460s release of MSP430 library sources lacks device database initialization. It can be solved like in my fork https://github.com/xhpohanka/mspdebug/commit/a3254fb2b8285699387c8c82a28a51c060e3a268
Cool -- did you want to put together a pull request for this change, or would you prefer if I picked out and applied the diff on its own?
I will prepare pull request. There is strange thing that binary version of slac460s provided by TI does not need this, they probably released slightly different source...
Yes, they might well have done. I think some of the very early releases might have been a little out-of-sync with source too.
