I just started using the msp430 here at work, have never used before. I have the IAR demo development installed, i have the USB msp-fetu430if and the ICC demo. I can of course debug with the IAR debugger and I can program flash with either the IAR or ICC flash utility.

I really want to use the mspgcc compiler because i use gcc on everything else( microchip, atmel, arm, native linux etc)

Does anyone make (commercial or open) a Debugger/Flash programmer for the mspgcc/fetu430if ?
I have to stay in windowz for now because there are other engineers on the project and they are not on linux.

Have I missed something on the tool chain in msp340 realm?

thanks
bruce vicknair

I'm not sure what you are looking for. I run mspgcc/eclipse on XP and
both the FET430UIF and the 4 wire usb jtag tool work fine. I start both
tools:

C:\~your_path_to_mspgcc~\bin\msp430-gdbproxy.exe
Arguments:
--port=2000 msp430 TIUSB

When you start the debugger, match the port:
target remote :2000
...

Best, Dan.

Thanks,
I have settled on XP, SlickEdit, mspgcc and NOIce for debug-flash.
