mspgcc as a toolchain does not provide an integrated development environment, nor any functionality like you describe. To examine the contents of a peripheral register within msp430-gdb you have to reference the name with two underscores prepended, e.g:
(gdb) x __P1DIR The sort of thing you describe is probably only going to be provided by an IDE. I believe there are solutions that integrate the toolchain into Eclipse (reference google), one of which is described on the wiki at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Setting_up_an_IDE. However, those instructions are from a couple years ago, and are not currently linked to from the main page (where the IDE page is undefined), so I don't know if they're still relevant. If somebody would like to review the Eclipse instructions and, if they are still accurate, update the main page to reference them, I'd appreciate it. If you need wiki editing rights, submit a support request as described on the wiki main page. Then follow-up if it turns out that the resulting environment does provide a device tree view. Anybody wishing to write such a tool can find helpful information about what peripherals are available on what chips within the analysis subdirectory of the msp430mcu package.
