I'm trying to build the 'new' toolchain, following the instruction here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Install:redhat
I'll need to use one of the big MSP (the 20 bit parts), so AFAIK that's the road to follow. I think is called the uniarch compiler, am I right? Done the binutils (got the 2.24.51.20131021 version from the repo), gcc (4.9.0 experimental) and newlib. mspdebug is working too (getting the FET working was another epic story, anyway). No gdb for the moment, I'm not yet there. Also picked the latest msp430mcu package (20130321), seems to be aligned with GIT. Now for testing the thing: newlib built so the compiler is working (it made a large version, too). Tried to make the MSP-EXP430G2-LaunchPad firmware which is a) small and b) theorically already ported to mspgcc. Issues found: - The 'autoinclude' needed an #include <msp430.h> to work, actually. In fact to make #include<> work I had to rebuild everything with the sysroot feature enable (pointing to /usr/local/msp430-elf)o - The interrupt macros had to be replaced with the __attribute__((interrupt()))_ equivalent stuff Now the compiler works and I got the launchpad.o file (which is already a good result). However the link pass bomb out saying: cannot open linker script file msp430g2553/memory.ld: No such file or directory AFAIK that's requested (as documented in http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/MSP430-Options.html) by a spec entry in msp430.h (in the gcc sources); I think the relevant fragment is this: %{!T*:%{!msim:%{mmcu=*:--script=%*/memory.ld %--script=%*/peripherals.ld}}} I think the idea is 'when not targeting the simulator add these two linker scripts to the link stage'. Fine for me HOWEVER msp430mcu doesn't provide memory.ld and peripherals.ld ... it gives memory.x and periph.h! Are these the same thing? is msp430mcu in need of an update for this new gcc feature? I tried giving it the obviously renamed files but it obviously don't work... I feel the x files are only fragments of the needed stuff (for comparison I looked into the msp430.ld from binutils), like section declaration and architecture and other things I have no idea of:P In short it says: - launchpad.elf section `.text' will not fit in region `ram' - crt0.S:23: undefined reference to `__stack (and other vital stuff) - undefined reference to `__bis_status_register' (isn't that a builtin? or must it be replaced with BIS_SR?) The link command is msp430-elf-gcc -mmcu=msp430g2553 -o launchpad.elf launchpad.o stracing shows that ld is called in this way (resolved the pathnames and indented the thing ) /usr/local/libexec/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.0/ld --sysroot=/usr/local/msp430-elf -o launchpad.elf /usr/local/msp430-elf/lib/crt0.o /usr/local/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.0/crtbegin.o -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.0 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc -L/usr/local/msp430-elf/lib -L/usr/local/msp430-elf/lib launchpad.o -lgcc --start-group -lc -lgcc -lnosys --end-group --script=msp430g2553/memory.ld --script=msp430g2553/peripherals.ld -lgcc /usr/local/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.0/crtend.o /usr/local/msp430-elf/lib/crtn.o -lgcc No idea about the group thing, but it really wants to be sure to include libgcc, it seems:P Any suggestion on how to make it work? Hopefully an updated msp430mcu? The alternative would be a manual merge (msp430 seems to provide the missing vital declarations) which would be a) painful and b) really unelegant. Or manual link (maybe even worse) Thanks in advance -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
