Hi Ricky As this is TI I am willing to spend time :-) (I am ex Technical Marketing of National Semi Germany before the take over) and I appreciate that you are taking our experience seriously. We are using one of our own boards loaded with MSP430F2235 (in fact two but they are isolated from each other), we then ideally would have created a vanilla project but was forced down the blinky route (old farts (54) like me are definitely bare bones kind of guys, we don't like to be feed "hello world" programs and creating them is all part of the learning experience) but this is a personal thing. Your debugging experience is certainly a million miles away from ours, I really hope it is not us being stupid but again we are quite experienced. Obviously we are not an evaluation board hence I assume these may give you some information that you would not get from our PCBA. We do have (many) evaluation board but I would have to find time to dig them out and try them (but that is not our goal to use evaluation boards)... we are using MSP-FET programmer connected directly to our PCBA. As with most MCU learning experiences we would have made our own blinky and then stepped through it and that in the Eden for most of our initial get up and goings with programming softwares like I expect 90%+ of other users. Again impressive response to subdue my rant, don't get me wrong we are more than happy with the V12 setup and this is in daily use here, we just ventured down the V20 out of interest hence we are not on any time schedules here... but we are aware that time will likely force us down this route and we are very vested in MSP430. Many Regards Tony
