Using it with GCC on OpenSuSE 13.1. I'm programming the FR5969 right
now, but I've also successfully compiled the minimal USB example for the
F5529 using the TI compiler.

Be sure your current active window is an editor or the like when
pressing the buttons on the F5529 demo.

Did you already press the green "play" icon in the debug perspective or
does this happen during programming of the MSP430 program flash?

I use CCS because I you use the new MSP430 GCC from Redhat with Newlib
from the CCS App Center. The downside is that the TI USB libs only work
with the TI compiler that you need to license/buy, or else you're code
size limited to 16KB or so. With GCC there's no code size limit.

So I'm a big fan of CCS 6 with GCC :-)
