Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help. I was indeed running an older version of
binutils. I just updated that to what looks like the latest snapshot
binutils-041025. I also have gcc-3.3.4 running on my redhat 9 linux box.
My test still returns a longer list of MCU names but the FG439 is
still not supported. Do I also need the latest gcc (ie 3.4.2) or perhaps
I don't have the correct binutils? I haven't had the best track record
with gcc updrades in the past so I'm a little wary here. Help -- What
versions do I need exactly to support the latest msp430 MCUs.
Once again, thanks for your help.
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia,
You gave the version of io.h you have, but not the versions of GCC and
binutils, or the platform you run them on. The message you get
indicates you are using a binutils which goes not have FG439 support.
Use a recent snapshot of binutils from sources.redhat.com, and you
will have FG439 support. Don't worry tooo much about using a snapshot.
The maintainers keep them very stable. Now we have binutils support
integrated into the main binutils tree we do not maintain it in our
own CVS. We just pass patches to the guys at Redhat. The downside of
this is formal releases of binutils with support for newer devices is
very slow.
Regards,
Steve
