Dependencies
First install libmsp430.so.

Extract files and apply makefile fix.
sudo -s mkdir -p /opt/src/MSPFlasher cd /opt/src/MSPFlasher tar zxvf ~/mspflasher.tgz cd Source
Patch
sed -i 's/char cOpt;/int cOpt;/' Support.cpp sed -i 's/-lmsp430/-lmsp430 -lpthread/' Makefile

Usage
When you run this app unpatched with args it will enter an infinite loop, hence it's useless without the fixes found on the TI forum.
Whether the target works or not in Linux is also dependant upon the firmware version in the target which can be upgraded via libmsp430.so using mspdebug.
