The serial connection to MSP430 LaunchPad is really screwed up.
Running dmesg
shows lines like:
tty_port_close_start: tty->count = 1 port count = 0
For kernels v3.0 .. v3.2+ (e.g. Ubuntu LTS 12.04)
git clone git://github.com/capnm/LaunchPad.git
cd LaunchPad/cdc-acm/fix-msp430lp-serial
./install.sh
cd etc-rules-udev.d
./install.sh
add LaunchPad users to the "access external storage devices" group
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev USERNAME

You can use an RS232 USB converter instead of the slow (9600 baud) and broken one inside the launchpad. Unplug the TX and RX jumpers on J3 and connect RX/TX/GND to the P1.1 and P1.2
G2553 P1.1 = TX, P1.2 = RX
G2452 P1.1 = RX, P1.2 = TX
This assumes your converter supports 3.3 volt I/O signals.
