The MSPGCC build from 12/08 already knows wo these 6 processors. I use it for some time now. This build, however, does not have support for the 430X language extension, so only the first 40K of flash are usable. There are brances of the MSPGCC wich support the 430X architecture, even based on GCC4.0 instead of 3.23, but these are still udner development and unless you want to experiment or even contribute to the compiler development, I don't really recommend them. (This might change soon as the development seems to make progress)
As long as you use the 54xx devices rather for their improved hardware modules than for the additional flash, the older compiler from 12/08 does its job. Then the 5418/5419 are a really good choice and siginficantly cheaper than the 5438 type. You'l need, however, to download the vastly improved header files from the sourceforge CVS repository. Many additions have been mader after this compiler release. And, you'll need to fix the 32 bit multiplication function in gcclib, as it addresses the hardware multiplyer at the wrong address (you can fix this by including your own version in your project source code, I postet the code some weeks ago in this list) JMGross ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Anthony Asterisk An: [email protected] Gesendet am: 25 Feb 2010 04:07:29 Betreff: [Mspgcc-users] support for msp430F5437 Hi all! I have a new project that I'm working on using the TI MSP430F5437. I am trying to determine if there is an existing generic MSP430 MCU flag that I can use or if support for any of the 54xx series has been added yet. I saw the addNewDevice page in the FAQ. If I go that route how do I submit it for inclusion in the repository? If you are interested here is a description of this series of MCU...
