Hi, I have no idea about the msp430F5529 support, we use 5418, but probably the situation for 55XX is similar. My experience with both MSP430 and MSP430X branches is following:
1) 'Cause there is an changes in JTAG for X2 architecture, using the mspgcc toolchain for programming/debugging thouse MCUs is not possible. We use the GoodFET board's clone with our own firmware/clients (it's an opensource) for programming those devices. The original board with the original client software and firmware now should also work with X2 MCU's. 2) The headers for 54XX MCU's use wrong registers definitions. There is two possible solutions: Gerald Lutter has made an attempt to write an alternative headers for mspgcc. His solution works for MSP430X branch and need probably some minor changes to work on MSP430 branch. I used some ad-hoc scripts to parse a datasheet and generate custom header file for 5418 and used it instead of the standard msgpcc headers. 3) The MSP430 branch (that unable to generate the extended instructions and access higher flash memory) use some hardcodings and generate wrong code for MPY at least for 5XXX devices. 4) The MSP430X branch looks unstable and has a number of problems: typo in setjmp/longjmp and our firmware just does not work when it's compiled by msp430x branch for 54XX --- some crashes, memory corruption and so on. Finally, I moved to wine + CCE + GoodFET in order to continue development of our product. --- Regards, Dmitry On Fri, 2009-09-11 at 15:01 +1200, Bernard Mentink wrote: > Anyone? > If this is not yet supported in mspgcc, is it possible to grab the headers > etc from the Free CodeComposer-Eclipse tools provided by TI? > But then we still have to have a gdbproxy that will work with the device. > > Thanks, > Bernie > > On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Bernard Mentink <[email protected]> wrote: > > > HI All, > > Does anyone know if their is a version of mspgcc that supports the latest > > USB MSP430's.
