  • GDB server stub for remote debugging
  • Flash memory programming and erasing
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Developing and debugging firmware for MSP430 microcontrollers
  • Programming MSP430 flash memory during production or development
  • Integrating MSP430 debugging into CI/CD pipelines via CLI
Alternatives:
  • MSP430-GDB – Official TI toolchain, often requires proprietary libraries
  • OpenOCD – More general purpose, may have less specific MSP430 support
