I'll shortly be working on a project which will use Node Red on a Raspberry pi 3B, part of this project will involve using the pi to program (firmware upload) a populated PCB under test. The Micro Controller in this case is one from the Texas Instruments MSP430 family.
So this post is really a place for anyone who has relevant info to add (not expecting much of that) and for me to share what I find.
The plan is for me to use mspdebug ( MSPDebug ) once I figure out how to get everything I need correctly built for the pi.
I made some progress yesterday, I managed to build the libmsp430 library on my Raspberry pi, took me most of the day as I'm a Windows/DOS person rather than linux.
be careful though it doesn't work as documented, many of the directories are wrong and there is an issue with DOS vs linux EoL characters that stumped me for a little while.
Was very happy when I typed make and the build started, 15 mins later I had my compiled library.
Next I need to build mspdebug and then I can start testing, And once I have a working command line method I can test it from Node Red . . .
(yes I know this is very much Node Red ish yet, but bear with me . . . I will get there.)
