Okay working on this some more this morning. I pulled down the latest build of mspdebug as posted in the forum. I would really like to install it in the PIO environment so i can use it integrated with the IDE as advertised. However, PIO is denying make permission to install the executable in the pio directory. Here is some terminal output:
warren@warren-XPS-15-9560:~/Repositories/mspdebug/mspdebug$ make install
mkdir -p ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug/bin/
./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug -m 0755 mspdebug ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug/bin/
make: execvp: ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug: Permission denied
Makefile:124: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 127
warren@warren-XPS-15-9560:~/Repositories/mspdebug/mspdebug$ sudo make install
mkdir -p ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug/bin/
./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug -m 0755 mspdebug ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug/bin/
make: execvp: ./platformio/packages/tool-mspdebug: Permission denied
Makefile:124: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 127
warren@warren-XPS-15-9560:~/Repositories/mspdebug/mspdebug$
I am not a super expert on make so I may not have configured this properly. Anyone got any ideas on how to get this to work?
