Hi,
I'm trying to debug a tmote (telosb) with olimex's msp-jtag-tiny  
(which is the USB jtag pod from olimex). I built myself the adapter  
to match the 8-pin header of the tmote with the 14-pin connector of  
the jtag device, but I'm not sure if i did it well beacause the  
tmote's schematic is not clear. According to it, the 6th pin of the  
jtag connector is undefined, and thus I didn't connect it to the  
olimex device...  has anyone built the adapter? it is ok to leave  
unconnected the 6th pin of the tmote's jtag 8-pin header?
Besides, I've been having some trouble making the jtag device work on  
Mac OS X. I've seen that Olimex has plenty of documentation and  
drivers for windows (but not linux or OS X). I've seen some guides  
for configuring GDB to work with TI USB FET jtag device; does anyone  
know if the same procedure may work with olimex's device? any advice?
thanks,
Erwing
