A newbie question:
I'm using sparkfun MSP430F169 LCD dev board ( http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... cts_id=772 ) and the $15 jtag parallel port programmer, and mspgcc on Windows XP. It appears the leds example code successfully compiled and uploaded. The mcu dev board power red led is on. The only time that red led comes on is when msp430-gdbproxy is running. So does this mean the leds example program is executing when the red power led is on? Don't get me wrong. I understand the leds example code does not control the red led power light. I'm just trying to figure out if the power from parallel port is sufficient to power this MSP430F169 LCD dev board, and also trying to figure how to execute the leds example code on the dev board.
Regards,
Paul
