Re: Debugging msp430 with mspdebug and ccsv6

Hey Olivier,

Thanks for the response. I just tried this modification to mspdebug and it
seems to connect now (no digit 59 error), though it segfaults when I go to
set a breakpoint. No idea quite why this is happening yet but I'll keep
digging. Let me know if you find anything.

Also, here is the output from mspdebug with the last command sent:

Interrupted by gdb

$T0500:1e600000;01:26f90000;02:03000000;03:00000000;04:ffff0000;05:ffff0000;06:ffff0000;07:74c10000;08:1ad20000;09:00000000;0a:b4c80000;0b:00000000;0c:00000000;0d:6c120100;0e:7c010000;0f:9cc00000;#78

Connection closed

Thanks,
-Wylder
