MSP430DLL

---

Welcome to MSP430DLL!

MSP430DLL is a convenient Python wrapper for TI MSP430 (tool) developers.

This is still work in progress and reasonable documentation has still to be written...

Prerequisites

Note: If you are using out-of-the-box DLLs (32-bit), you also need a 32-bit Python version (PyPy also works fine)!

Installation

$git clone https://github.com/christoph2/msp430dll.git msp430dll

$cd msp430dll

$python setup.py develop

Since this project is currently under development, be sure to use develop not install -- for a discussion see here.

Examples

This package contains a script called msp-info, which automatically gets installed by setup.

Usage

$ msp430-info --help
Usage: msp430-info [options] path-to-msp430.dll

Display informations about connected MSP430 controllers.

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n DLLNAME, --dll-name=DLLNAME
Name of DLL

Argument path-to-msp430.dll denotes the location where to find msp430.dll (Defaults to current working directory). If your DLL has a divergent name, say msp430v3.dll or msp430mspgcc.dll, use -n option (.dll extension can be omitted).

This little program may or may not be useful, but but it exists mainly to demonstrate basic API usage. Anyways, you may use it as a starting point for "real" command line utilities.

If I run msp430-infoagainst my eZ430-2013 the outcome is as follows:
