Hi Xavi, Regarding to first step... I was looking for information in mspgcc.sf.net <http://mspgcc.sf.net/> , the webmaster told me that they had a patch tha supports msp430F2617 micro. Finally I found it and it was a patch for binutils v1.17. (http://mspgcc.cvs.sourceforge.net/mspgcc/packaging/patches/). Boomerang v2.0.2 uses binutils v1.16, so, first step I tried to follow was upgrading binutils from v1.16 to v1.17, but I went down with this ship. I didn´t know how to upgrade binutils v1.17 and after this, upgrade v1.17 with the patch. I tried to compile binutils v1.17 (configure, make and make install), but it didn´t work in cygwin.Do you know how to do it? I am not an expert in linux. You have told me that I have to upgrade mspgcc , but mspgcc includes gcc, binutils and gdb, doesn´t it? Do I have to upgrade everything or only binutils? Best regards and thank you for your time! Gracinda

Let's go step by step. To make msp430F2617 with Tinyos (event boomerang, 1.x, or 2.x). You must: - upgrade mspgcc (because the version distributed by default does not support this new msp430). (this includes the upgrade of nesC to use a different separator than $). - change files relating to specific msp430 code. The main difference between msp430F1 and msp430F2 is the new USCI component. - create a new platform in the tinyos toolchain. Regarding to step 1, if you use windows just download new mspgcc from mspgcc.sf.net, if not, you can build from sources or let me know and I will post to my tinyos contrib folder. Regarding to step 2, boomerang has related code to msp430 in moteiv/tos/platform, you must change there all the code related to UART, I2C and SPI. (and DCO clock calibration). Regarding to step 3, I have no idea of how to do it in boomerang. If you decide to change to tinyos 2.x, I've ported most part of the code, created a new msp430F2617 based platform, and I have a quite tested release (for my specific platform), maybe I can publish and early release too on my contrib code directory.

I am using Boomerang 2.0.2 and it is tinyos v1.1.15. And this version doesn´t support msp430x2617. I think you are using TinyOS 2.0, aren´t you? Do you know how can I upgrade mspgcc (I am using Windows) to make it support msp430x2617 but using TinyOS v1.1.15? Can I install the latest version for this TinyOS or I need to install tinyos v2.0 before?

Let me explain my procedure to get msp430x2617 work in tinyos and then maybe we can find some similarities. Support for msp430x2617 it has been already included in mspgcc distribution. Do you need no patch. If you are using linux you can checkout last cvs and compile. (or ask me and I can send you an already compiled version). If you are using windows just download the last installer version. To make tinyos to use the new mspgcc, I've just changed the folder msp430 in the tinyos distribution, for a new one including the last mspgcc. Then, you have to check you have nesc 1.2.8 (or download there: http://www.isis.vanderbilt.edu/projects/NEST/tinyos-2.x-iris/tools/release/external-tools/). Add the flag "-fnesc-separator=__" in msp.rules (folder tos/support/make/msp). And change the flag that indicates cpu. Regading to msp430X specific code, you have to change some things to make it work, If you are interested I can put the code in the contrib-cvs. I hope this fast explanation helps you in your problems!

Do you know if it is possible to upgrade binutilsv2.16 in Boomerang 2.0.2 to v2.17? how? I have also installed Boomerang v2.0.4 (binutils v2.17) and after I have installed the patch but I got error messages. When I have reviewed the patch, I have checked modifications in files that I don´t find in my directory tree. In the directory tree I have found another files related to the linker and hardware ( for example ldscripts, msp430x1611.xu), but a new file for the new micro is not included in the patch, I don´t know if the patch will generate these scripts. So, I am confused about binutils package, the patch and the directory tree I have... I hope you can help me or clarify something! Best regards
