I just want to second Matt's comments. We use the Quadravox product.
The
quality is very good, the price is right, the licensing rules and
enforcement are reasonable and the support is OUTSTANDING!
If you want to make sure that its the right product for you, the Quadravox
comes with a 30 day free trial, just download the tool and go to town.
The help screens provided with the tool include detailed notes on the
compatibility issues between Quadravox and IAR, BTW for my money, Quadravox
made much better decisions about how to implement the non-standard features
of the compiler than IAR.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

Subject: Re: [msp430] IAR and inline assembler
There are at least three 3rd party tool developers that are active in
this group:
Imagecraft
Quadravox
Rowley Associates
I've tried all of them and wouldn't hesitate recommending any of them
for
professional work. All of their tool sets are less expensive than IAR's and
(IMHO) all are better quality tools and a better value. They are also very
responsive with technical support/bug fixes.
If you are doing real "paying" projects, then I think supporting a
tool
vendor is a good thing. If you are doing small educational projects, TI's
limited version of the IAR Workbench (4K for the C compiler, unlimited
assembler) might be acceptable. It's available from TI's web site or
distributed on their MSP430 CDROM.
Of course, if you want free you can always go with the GNU tools.
One of the things that I've been pleasantly surprised with is the
availability
of high quality, moderately priced development tools for the MSP430 family.

NoICE430 is not freeware. There is a demo version but it is not free. In
the ideal world, everyone has a day job programming and consulting and then
work at their favorite GPL projects at night. Of course if all SW are GPL,
then what would they work on during the days :-) Anycase, ImageCraft paid
for the development of NoICE430, and seeing ImageCraft doesn't have as many
people and money as, oh, say, TI, we would like to recoup the money. It's
not > 200 Euro, but $100.

You'll have to buy it!
Or use an all-free solution like http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/ (gcc
port, does inline "asm" nicely) together with your favorite source
code editor (www.scintilla.org?) and a good JTAG uploader & debugger
like NoICE430 (freeware at http://www.noicedebugger.com/, others seem
to sell it for >200EUR, strange...).
Of course, you could also continue using the free IAR IDE from TI as
a source code editor and C-spy for uploading, but compile the stuff
using msp430-gcc (to get past the 4kB obj code limit and the strange
IAR C "interpretations" and ASM restrictions)
cheers,

Hi Venkat!
If you're using version 2 of the IAR tools then you can use the
"asm"
keyword to mix assembler instruction and C code.
For example:
void test()
{
asm("NOP");
}
This results in the following code:
1 void test()
\ test:
2 {
3 asm("NOP");
\ 000000 0343 NOP
4 }
\ 000002 3041 RET

Dear sir.
i have modified c -code fet examples in msp430f123. i included as u suggested /$
nop $/ like . but it showing an error as binary operator missing. had i missed
to include some files. if so, please tell me about that. actually i want to add
asm and c-code in same file.
so please help me

Can't speak for the other vendors, but in AQ430, you can easily
insert assembly code by putting it between an opening /$ and a
closing $/
You can also easily refer to C declared variables in inserted
assembly code.
