Yutaka,
You must be one of the escaped prisoners from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
Or, may be you were born outside the Cave to begin with. Either way, go
inside
the cave and try to convince people that the shadows on the wall are not
real is futile.

Hello.
I am studiying MSP430 programmin.
I added binstart (BINary START) option into msp430-jtag.
You can write binary file on flash memory.
I make web page how to use binstart option.

I've been learning how to coexist with tinyOS programming since it gives
you a prebuilt starting point for radio networking, but it's wearying
dealing with c programming plus a compiler-enforced module definition
structure. It's almost like the compiler writers have put there
control-freak personality into it....
So, what if you have some less convoluted tasks than radionetworking to
do, and you're not afraid to use more than one microcontroller, one
reconfiguring the other... Think of all the program space available to
little looping programs that can be started by a jtag BINSTART write of
2 bytes. You could put a library of several hundred in the action
microcontroller with one BINSTART write done from a laptop computer,
then on the control microcontroller switch between modes by JTAG
BINSTART writes of new starting addresses.
That method would leave lots of microseconds of tight control
unreachable, but it would have easy "programmer/operator" input
methods, and be very full use of the available flash memory in MSP430s
and such microcontrollers. The user interface to the control
microcontroller might be some kind of scripting language like python,
or a non-language like Matt Biewer's Mcode, or just a fixed program that
communicates with a terminal to choose sequences of programs to run at
what times.
Sounds like a Toyota Production Method tool.
