I am trying to program the MSP430 (on an MSP-EXP430F5438 evaluation board) under Linux using gcc-msp430 (I eventually will do code larger than the 16k that the free version of the Code Composer allows).
As a debugger, it is recommended to use mspdebug, but when I try to use it, it doesn't connect to the FET430UIF.
~$ sudo mspdebug uif
MSPDebug version 0.19 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs

The same device works correctly with Code Composer running on a Windows virtual machine or on a physical Windows system, so I know it is working.
I tried on Ubuntu 12.04 and on Arch Linux and got the same errors.
As recommended in an answer, I tried with -d and got further, but didn't work:
~$ sudo mspdebug uif -d /dev/ttyUSB0

What is wrong?
Answer
This mail thread suggests that you need to specify the -d option like this:
$ sudo mspdebug uif -d /dev/ttyUSB0
They state that this is necessary for FET firmware 2.04.09.001 but not necessary for 2.04.05.003.
Your firmware is version 2.04.08.002. So this issue may affect you or it may not.
