Support (possible) for board=eZ430U

Open oliv3r opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hey @travisgoodspeed,

I dug out from an ancient drawer, my eZ Chronos and found that it actually containas an eZ430U USB debugger. Mine contains the 'white' PCB, with revision G4 of the TUSB3410. I'm curious if it is possible to support this variant with GoodFET firmware. I know your own boards replaced this chip with the FTDI one; but overal, the MSP430 is still the same?

Maybe this board IS supported, but I couldn't find any notion anywhere on the interwebs :)

You could certainly get it working by editing config.mk, the linker scripts, and patching a bit of code to use the right UART.

Maybe begin with installing it over JTAG, so that the linker script won't be as finicky. Then after you get it working, figure out how to patch it in as a software update in the usual protocol.
