Hello to the list,

I am using the MSP 430 in a small paging receiver
design for its low power consumption.

TI has just updated the silicon, after numerous calls
to the hotline that ended with the words "We have
never observed this before, we can't tell you about
it". Not the first time this has happened with TI.

Apart from this, the EVKit is at 49$US, and also this
didn't work right away.

But the project is slowly coming to life, I cannot
tell how many more "silicon updates" we will have to
suffer...

Greetings,

Jochen Feldhaar
