Well, I have my opinions on CC for the msp430, and they are not high - we have a couple of projects that use it, because when they started we needed to use 20-bit msp430's and gcc support for 20-bit was not yet stable. But I don't want to go into detail about what I found bad about CC for the msp430, as there have been several new versions since them - maybe things have improved. But I would like to hear what TI's official position is here. While there are a lot of people that might feel the world would be a better place if TI dropped CC for the msp430 and replaced it with Red Hat's upcoming msp430 gcc (or merged the best features of the two into one package), I would like to know what /TI/ plans. mvh., David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here.
