Re: MSP-FET430UIF and mspdebug

Hi Valentin,

No I have not been able to make a JTAG connection before. I tried
downgrading to version 2 of the firmware but I get the following
error. So I suspect that there is something not right with the FET?

./mspdebug tilib -d ttyACM0 --require-fw-update Uifv3Downgrader.txt

MSPDebug version 0.22 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs
