Hi folks, I'm brand new to mspgcc, and just thought I'd pass along a hiccup I encountered while switching from the IAR environment to mspgcc.
We have a somewhat large (for a microcontroller) project that I have recently moved from the IAR/Windows world to mspgcc/Linux (the uC now has to talk to a linux embedded PC, so why not stick to Linux all the way? It was a good time to try this stuff). I had a global variable that got updated by an interrupt service routine, and should have declared it as a "volatile" type. I didn't and got away with it in IAR, but not with mspgcc. My fault, I realize, but it tripped me up for a while. The read of the actual global got optimized out in the loop that was looking for it to change with mspgcc. After that, everything works. Thanks, guys for a cool new way to do msp430 stuff. Mike. ps. Still having some troubles with gdbproxy/gdb/ddd - but much of that could be operator error. ps2: I have a cheat-sheet of things I did to build, install, and convert to mspgcc on Linux (Redhat 9). If there's interest, I could post it.
