Hello All, My I cannot see it documemented how CrossWorks arranges (ie packs) its structures on an MSP430. I know that compilers for 'larger micros' often 'pad' the structure elements so that they fit on a 16bit/32 bit boundary. But I cannot see where this is documented for the CrossStudio Compiler and looking at my data (as memory) is not 'definitive'. It seems to me that there would be a

Dear all, I've been wondering for a while how to avoid this enormous waste of mem I presently have in the code generated from my program. The problem I have consists of a rather complex digital logic with very simple algorithms. In other words, the program is a huge bunch of if()'s with very little maths. I tried to write it as modular as I could and as a result I need many static and gl

I am interested in making a bootloader for the MSP430FG4618 using IAR 4kb kickstart version. I have experience making bootloaders for AVR uCs using x-modem and proprietary protocols, and I would like to do something similar with this chip and compiler. The idea is this: 1. the uC starts(inits) 2. delays say 5 seconds 3. if signalled to upgrade within delay period then proceed with...

Hi! I would like to know at compiler time which target is selected in the proyect option in IAR. I've seen that __tid__ is not reccomended. It recommends the use of __icc430__ but it doesn't say hoq to use it. Please I would like to have more detailed description of that macro. Thanks! FB No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi, I am using the ez430. I cant help noticing that precious bytes are being lost on _exit __exit functions and startup code. Does anyone have any lean startup and exit function they would be willing to share, along with caveats? With only 2kbytes to work with everything counts! Thanks, Vincent

I need to do an arctan calculation from the readings of a pair of A/D converters. I, of course, can use the built in arctan function with the compiler but that takes up a lot of code space and is way more accurate than I need. My sin and cos values are 10 bit numbers (0 - 1023) and I need a result that is also a 10 but number. E.g. 0 degrees gives 0, pi/2 gives 256, pi gives 512, you g

Everybody, I am using the '430F1232. I need to store a variable constantly all the time permanently in register 15. Doing it in assembly looks like #define [variable name] R15 I tried entering that into my C program ('cause I have to do this in C), and the compiler bawlks at it. The online help talks about this statement __regvar __no_init int NMA @ __R5; but implies that it only wo

Hi, List. Now that I am the veteran of one successful project using the MSP430F149, I am designing my second using the MSP430F1121 for a legitimate low power app: a battery powered remote control RF widget. I started constructing the transmitter end, beginning with the LED flasher demo suppiled with the IAR C compiler. (Did I mention this is presently being developed in C?) As soon as I a

First of all thanks to anyone that can shed some light to my questions... I'm writing a bootloader and have a few doubts on how to proceed in some simple things: 1) What is the best way to put a jump from the bootloader to the main application using c code? Or should I embed asm code with a jmp instruction to do this?? 2) How do I instruct my compiler (Rowley Crossworks) to compile my cod...

Hi, I am new to this list. I have done a search and I see several results but I'm still not able to get this just right. I have an MSP430F149 and I'm using Imagecraft C compiler. I am new at using the MSP430, and I've been able to transmit one character out the UART0 port using example code, etc. The problem is I don't know how to send more than one character. No matter what I "put" i...

Hi all, I have an 8MHz crystal attached to XIN / XOUT of my MSP430F149. In software (IAR C Compiler), I am dividing LFXT1CLK by 8 to give me 1MHz out of ACLK. 1MHz is indeed present on ACLK but there is also a 40Hz (approx.) square wave imposed on it!!!. Does anyone know why this is? Best regards Darren Logan BSc(Hons) Development Engineer ________________________________________

I've gone back to an older design to upgrade the software. The design uses an MSP430F149. A couple of months ago I upgraded Kickstarter to slac050aq, or version 5.52. It seemed to be OK for the newer micros I was working with, but now it seems to be behaving strangely. It won't revert to compiler mode from debug mode, it crashes. It doesn't seem to recognise or act on most breakpoints, i...

Hi All, Some of you may recall my enthusiasm for Rowley's CrossWorks for MSP430 since quite some time :-) We all know that some C tool chain companies tend to produce *slightly* biased benchmarks on their tools, so I decided to do an actual REAL test, mainly comparing EW430 V2.10 and RAL CW430 V1.2 (I am in the process of testing on HITECH-C's HITide and compiler V9.00) I ported a project

To all the hard working crew I have a wierd bug in a MSPF1232. I use a the IAR c compiler and the processor constantly goes to an endless jmp loop 'FF3F' to itself. This instruction is placed just after the call to main in the starup file. If change JTAG tools or compilers ( same results with IMAGECRAFT ) the results are the same. Is this some permenent flash option in the MSP430. It

I had a subroutine with six arguments of type unsigned char. The two last ones were put on the stack and the first four in registers by the IAR C compiler. When the routine returned the stack was not corrected and I ended up in a stack overflow. I temporarely solved this by using two global variables, is there any box under options I need to tick to get this to work the normal way? ----...

I am attempting to convert a working IAR embedded workbench project to crossworks CrossStudio and am having some difficulty with the difference between compilers. I believe I have worked out the interrupt issues and the program does run but it does not behave as expected, in fact it does not do anything I can see. The crossworks compiler did give several of the following warnings: "result of ...
