continuing a discussion of MSP430 Info Flash
Neighborly MSP430 developers, please do me a favor and email me the contents of memory from 0x1000 to 0x1100 of every MSP430F2xx device that you can. I'm trying to reverse engineer the exact distributions of the CALBC1_16MHZ and CALDCO_16MHZ values in order to build a UART library that operates without Info Flash. The GoodFET does this well enough, but I still get the occasional bug report when a device is slightly out of range. I can reduce the default to baud rate or try similar tricks to get around this, but I want to know exactly which values are safe.
If your GoodFET can be programmed by goodfet.bsl but does not respond after programming, try the info flash images available in /contrib/infos/ to see if any of them work.

Previously programmed GoodFETs have info flash wiped during programming, but if yours has never been programmed, you can dump the info with
goodfet.bsl --dumpinfo >info.txt
