Since Salvo already works with tools like AQ430, it should be very little work to make it work with mspgcc. It would be more of a tweak, than a port.
While there are a few (I suspect minor) issues that need to be addressed in the coding portion of the mspgcc-for-Salvo port, the bigger issues are the integration of Salvo into the "most common" mspgcc toolset and working environment, which I know little about. Makefiles for the tutorial projects need to be built, etc., and that is where the experience of the person doing the port comes into play ...
From our perspective of supporting Salvo, this is the major "gotcha" with gcc-based tools vs. the commercial IDEs/compilers -- with the commercial ones, there is just one toolset, and so everything is very well-defined in terms of what needs to be done to incorporate that compiler into the Salvo distribution. With gcc-???, there are lots of "preferred" environments, and we can / will only support one because of the time and expense involved in testing, maintenance, etc.
