As I understand, there is a fully functioning assembler (msp430-as) as part of the mspgcc package.
and if you want to program assembler with preprocessor support it's common to call gcc. it will select the right language based on file type.

the "gas" (gnu assembler) manual can be found on the binutils homepage. yes there is a "documentation" link hidden somewhere on the homepage ;-)
in documenations.html/txt in CVS/pagagin respectively in the strat menu if you used the windows installer has links on it too.
the mspgcc manual (PDF) also contains some words about assembler
would be interested in learning more about assembly programming, especially since I'll be migrating toward DSPs in the coming years.
heh, the MSP430 is relatively easy to program in assembly. DSP sometimes have very complex instructions. but the MSP430 is a good start.
Can anyone recommend good resources for learning this assembler? I haven't even found sample code that works in gcc (just the MSP samples for IAR and CCE, which I've had problems porting). I would love to
check out the mspgcc examples they are installed by the windows installer and can be found in our CVS repository. some application notes have been ported and there are some other exaples that use assembler in one or the other way. search for the ".S" files.
include assembler sources alongside my C sources for some functions that would really benefit from some human optimization.
the mspgcc manual has some details about that. to some extent you'll also find documentation in the gcc manual.
