[Mspgcc-users] Fwd: New MSP430 GCC version release available!

[Peter Bigot]

My archive of msp430-elf releases at https://github.com/pabigot/msp430-elf
has been updated to include 3.05.00.00.  The bottom of the README includes
a description of the version numbering used by TI.  This new release does
include a few fixes/enhancements in the compiler, the first since
3.02.03.00, but is fundamentally the same GCC version as the original TI
release one year ago.

I no longer use MSP430 and at some point will stop updating my archive.
Earlier this summer I was using the upstream gcc+binutils (5.0.0-based at
the time, selected specifically for C++14 support), built as documented at
http://pabigot.github.io/bsp430/msp430elf.html.  Stock GNU tools work fine
with MSP430 now, though they sometimes do lag in applying patches that
appear in the TI fork.  Only the device-specific headers and linker scripts
from TI (also in my archive) are necessary when using upstream versions.

Greetings,

First and foremost I would like to personally thank Peter Bigot for his
efforts on maintaining the mspgcc toolchain before TI/RedHat took over
and developed their own and then for still caring enough to aid with
community builds for the msp430-elf toolchain. I feel this must be
addressed, given that this effort has been made even when, I believe,
there is some friction between TI/RedHat and Mr. Bigot himself.

That being said, I would like to mention that I have released a few
PKGBUILDs for Arch Linux which are able to build packages that can be
installed in that system. These may be found in the AUR [1]. I am using
binutils 2.25, gcc 5.2.0, newlib 2.2.0.20150824 and the latest snapshot
of TI headers and linker scripts.

If you decide to use these in your Arch Linux system, please report any
bugs you find with these PKGBUILDs and packages over in the AUR and not
here. Also, I am sorry, but I am unable to provide packages for other
distributions as I only utilize Arch Linux.

With that being said, thank you again for all your efforts, good sir.

Cheers,
Orlando.

Things have come a long way since I first started using mspgcc about
11 years ago.  I'm glad TI stopped dragging their feet and acting
generally obstructive and got behind gcc.  I'm no longer an active
user of the '430, but I'd like to extend my personal thanks to
everybody who worked on mspgcc over the years (especially in the old
days) -- and thanks/congratulations to whoever at TI finally slapped
some sense into management at TI and got them to support gcc.  Back in
the day it must have been embarassing to many at TI to see how highly
everbody regarded Atmel due to thier commitment to gcc and
open-source.  [Expecially considering how annoying and hard to support
the AVR architecture was compared to the '430.]
