Hi all, 

My aplogy if my question is very noob/stupid.

I just started working on CC430 chips and I have a MSP-FET430UIF debugger
and an MSP430-CCRF Olimex dev board. I was using IAR on windows and I think
due to some error in my code I put my chip in a dead loop, so the debugger
can not attach itself to it and IAR thinks that my chip has its security
fuse blown.

I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 and have installed MSP430-GCC version 4.6.3, also
MSPDEBUG version .20 as well as usblib-dev 

now when I attach the debugger to usb and run this command I can not see my
debugger, the answer to *$mspdebug uif* is as follow:
usbutil: unable to find a device matching 0451:f430

When I do *lsusb* I can see this Texas Instrument device is being detected
*Bus 002 Device 005: ID 2047:0010 Texas Instruments*

Can someone please tell me if I need to install additional packages/drivers.
I just want to know how to get going, for example I want to do something
like this:
*mspdebug -d /dev/ttyUSB0 uif-bsl 'prog new_firmware.hex'* 
to update my debugger. So in short the proplem is how can I see my debugger
as /dev/ttyUSBx  ?

Regards,
Sean.
