I hear your pain!
I'm trying to get one of these up and running with IAR Kickstart. The documentation from Olimex is best described as "sparse" and the email exchanges I have had with the guy at Olimex only appear to be confusing the situation even more.
What I am trying to do, and after my exchanges with Olimex its now not clear to me if this is possible is:
1. Set up the JTAG-ISO so I can actually program a target MSP430 device
2. Set up the JTAG-ISO so I can use it in stand-alone mode (i.e. I don't need it connected to the PC every time) and mass program during production
I don't seem to be having any success with 1. IAR Kickstart seems unable to recognise the fact that the JTAG-ISO is connected. I've downloaded all the latest drivers, .DLL's, etc and installed them in the appropriate directories (I can't be 100% sure of this that I have in fact installed them in the correct directories 'cause Olimex's doco is very vague in this respect)
To achieve 2, I understand you actually have to program a target device first, then you read the program back into the JTAG-ISO and can then write this to all subsequent devices. But until I get 1 working, I can't test 2!!
Has anyone had any experience with the JTAG-ISO and IAR Kickstart, and do they have a brief "check list" of things that need to be done in order to get this combo to work?
Thanks
