MSP430 DLL for Crossworks in Linux

Hi,

I installed Crossworks for MSP430 2.1 on Linux and I'm having issues loading the .so driver module.  I am using a MSP-FET430UIF JTAG debugger to connect to my board.  Everything looks good if I use gccmsp and mspdebug.  However, when I try to click on the JTAG interface in Crossworks, I get an error:

Cannot load target driver DLL <path to .so>

I tried to change the target to point to both gccmsp's copy of MSP430.so and libMSP430.so, an older file I found mentioned in posts online.  If I try those, I get a similiar error.

Where do I get the correct version of MSP430.so and how do I install it?

Thanks!

Matt

  It's in the msp430 CPU support package.

  Thanks Michael, I was able to install it.  Now when I click on the JTAG device, the program crashes with this:

  /usr/share/crossworks_for_msp430_2.1/bin/crossstudio: symbol lookup error: /home/matt/.rowley_associates_limited/CrossWorks for MSP430/packages/targets/msp430/MSP430.so: undefined symbol: usb_init

  I'm almost positive this is due to a improper soft link of libusb on my end.  When I originally tried to install Crossworks on my machine, which is running Arch 64-bit, I got this error:

  ./Setup: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  I went into /usr/lib32 and made this symlink, which I know should never be done:

  libusb-0.1.so.4 -> /usr/lib32/libusb-1.0.so.0.0.0

  What do I need to install to get the correct 32-bit libusb library?

  Thanks!

  Scratch that, looks like I needed lib32-libusb-compat in addition to lib32-libusb.  I reinstalled and am now getting a "Could not communicate with FET" error. I'll look into that and post back if I still have issues, thanks again!
