Hello Folks,
Looks like I'll have to debug code for a small uC (MSP430) in the field pretty soon. Cramped space, things can be banged around a bit, the usual. What would be a small, low cost and bare minimum laptop to do that with? Or is there a nice PDA where a keyboard can connect to?
The programmers work via USB. The bootloader I may have to provide would be RS232 but that could be handled via a USB-RS232 converter. In the lab I use a baseline Dell Inspiron. Works nicely but it is quite large and the plastic enclosure looks a bit too flimsy for such jobs.
