After many experiments we discovered that this "garbling" is due to interference between the program accessing the serial port and mspdebug, which is used to load programs. During the programming process of the msp430 we can see a warning message from mspdebug indicating:
"Warning: rf2500: warning: can't detach kernel driver: No data available" After seeing this message, the output of the msp430 is garbled and subsequent programming will be corrupted until there is a reboot. Perhaps mspdebug should exit when it can't detach the kernel driver? ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => mspdebug (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943170 Title: tty output of MSP430 garbled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mspdebug/+bug/943170/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
