[IAEP] [OLE Bolivia] [Sur] TI MSP430 running on XO 1 - Robotics!

[Yama Ploskonka]

in Terminal:
sudo yum install mspdebug msp430-libc
It takes a while to complete, and seems to freeze a couple times for a 
minute or so (some 5-10 minutes or so total)

In the more recent releases it finally works again - for at least a 
couple major Sugar releases the redirecting to the Fedora repositories 
was mangled. i.e.,
* if you do not use the most recent releases of Sugar*, follow this
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OLPC_XO-1#Error_:_cannot_retrieve_repository_metada
Also, those earlier releases only handle MSP430 chips up to the 24xx 
family, not the more recent 25xx
If you didn't have a better reason to update Sugar, this is a good one 
:-) (even if the newest Sugar doesn't allow for use of the Gnome desktop 
besides the image...)
