Re: [Mspgcc-users] [ANN] new snapshot of windows installer

[Wayne Uroda]

Are there any roadmaps for MSPGCC development? Does anybody know if there will be support for MSP430X and memory above 64kb in the foreseeable future? I have looked at trying to modify the gcc sources myself but got nowhere, not having much experience with the code behind gcc. I imagine that adding some rudimentary support for upper memory (bra/calla instructions?) would be trivial after the work already done to port gcc to the MSP processor, is this not the case? If mspgcc does however now support calling functions above 0xFFFF, can somebody please point out how. The linker is happy to put functions there, however calls and branches are truncated to 16 bits and thus do not call the correct code (I tried this with the 2008-12-30 release today). I hope we will see the support soon, since the MSP430X architecture must be about 2 years old by now! -- Wayne Uroda Peter Jansen wrote: HI Chris, Thanks for the windows package update. I have added a patch file for binutils 2.19 to the packaging/patches directory on the cvs server, this includes all the patches for 2.18. Binutils 2.19 builds ok with gcc-4.3.2 also. Should I tweek the packaging makefile to use 2.19 also?
