+NOTE:   Some versions of the Texas Instruments MSP430 Development Tool
+        require that you give the '--no-close' option to pyJTAG.  This
+        is because the Texas Instruments tool is powered via the JTAG
+        adapter; the '--no-close' option prevents pyJTAG from powering the
+        adapter off.  You may also need to restart the program with 
+        pyJTAG (using the '--no-close' and '-r' options is sufficient) after
+        rebooting your machine.
+
+        Other development kits that rely on the parallel port for their power
+        source may also need the '--no-close' option.  It is preferable to
+        try programming the device *without* the '--no-close' option first,
+        and introduce this option only if the uploaded code fails to start.
