I do not have a lot of free time at the moment, but I will do my best to help you as much as I can. It may take some time before I can reply or test your suggestions though.

Except for the low-level (Mach) kernel stuff, OSX is BSD. Of course there are a lot of things that are different outside the OS part (bootloader, gui, etc) Fortunately, MacPort have port most of the GNU utilities and also X can be installed.

So, the --usb-list command returns nothing under Devices on bus 000: And this is true on both Parallels v11 and VMware Fusion v8.1 environments.

The msp430.dll is needed for Harald to program the NP-41 as the programming command is "prog tilib", instead of the "prog rf2500". So I believe although we can see a COM7:, mspdebug does not see the programmer. We can check windows "devices and printer" and the device should appears like so; OK, libusb is absolutely needed, after libusb was installed, everything started to work Code: c:\HPCalc\NP41>mspdebug rf2500 "prog np41.hex" If I understand correctly, the Launchpad is now able to reprogram the flash either directly or through the microcontroller. But the unit is still not working, at least from the user perspective (LCD dead, no sound feedback) I need to leave for work, I will do more testing tonight. Best regards, Sylvain |
