Well, generally speaking it just not going to work. I do not remember, if it concerns only the extended memory, or there are some general problems too. But I tried to use the mspgcc-x branch about a month ago, there were a bunch of problems, i.e. some problems with linking the firmware because of typo in CRT. And even after I fixed some obvious problems, there was still no way to make the firmware run. The main branch in general is also broken for 54XX: the wrong registers definitions in the headers (some guys here sent the patches, but they are not in CVS so far). Hardcoded and wrong MPY-s registers and I could not patch the libraries to produce correct code for multiplication. > If I compile the program with current version of the mspgcc > and try to run on msp430f5348 will it work? > What problems I may expect? There is hard to point to some specific problems because there are a few chances that the generated firmware will work proper at all. I managed to migrate to Rowley first, and wine + cce later in order to accomplish the project. > Regards > Piotr Romaniuk > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dmitry Zuikov [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 4:54 AM > To: [email protected]; GCC for MSP430 - http://mspgcc.sf.net > Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP430F54xx programming under windows > > [...] > Also, there is no point to blame the TI for poor support of open source > community.
