This is a quick-and-dirty USB firmware downloader
for Texas Instruments MSP430F55xx 16 (20) bit microcontrollers
using built-in USB bootstrap loader (USB BSL).

Features:
* Command-line interface for easy integrating into makefiles
* Full Unicode support - even for file names - ANSI version for Win98/Me available
* Very small executeable file size + no dependencies to uncommon DLLs
* Reads Intel Hex and Motorola SREC files
* Reads TI Text files (I recommend extension .tit IF used anyway)
* Reads ELF files (untested) and Binary files
* Built-in RAM BSL, no external file needed
* Source code for Visual C++ 6 and Visual Studio 2008 included
* Localizable using Win32 string resources
* German localization

Not yet implemented:
* Extensive command-line options
* Flash readback providing a correct passphrase
* Doing CRC (cyclic redundancy check) with flashed data
* Serial connection for MSP430 without USB

I needed this program instantly because I didn't found
a suitable solution.
The solution provided by Texas Instruments lacks of a
command-line interface, and comes up with a nag screen.
