Newbie question

Hi,

I am very much interested in developing a unit to communicate to the www to ping an IP continously to let me know whether a specific port is available or not. This will have to work anywhere in the house. I need to glow a green led all the time and a red led when a port is not available.

I bought the MSP430F1121 and a Jtag connector from Olimex about a month ago. Still I am not able to figure out how to proceed.

I have the chip pluged in a breadborad and the jtag is connected to the computer.

I don’t have any instruction manual to follow and do something with the chip (atleast an addition a+b=c )

Someone pleas give me a head start. I will be very greatful.
