Not that I know of. > An option to build MSP430 newlib with the standard system interface > would be even better. I don't know of a "standard" interface.

They use the CIO interface across all their processors, and it lets you debug gcc-produced executables in their IDE/simulator/hardware. As for reverse-engineering it... the sources are in libgloss and the simulator ;-) > I saw that, but it only mentioned two specific flags, compared with > the nine that are used by gcc-arm-embedded (though they're using a > forked newlib).

Users almost need to check them all and decide which features they're using in their app and which they aren't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Mspgcc-users mailing list Mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users
