(price was a criteria of choice) Eclipse is fine but compilation tools
are not so 'efficient'. I mean I probably need (more tuning / to be more
strict in C) to get a working code.

For example I just realize that the IAR version I used and CCE v3 has
not the same C calling convention. . (Found one of my problem)


Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

Hello.

I daily use Code Composer Studio (T.I DSP)

I used a 30 days Trial IAR for MSP430 :

- Compilation Tools are very efficient

- Got some problem with the GUI : Crashes, Freezes, or no connection to target.(when trying to debug)

I begin on December 2008 a new project with MSP430 : We choosed CCEv3 (price was a criteria of choice) Eclipse is fine but compilation tools are not so 'efficient'. I mean I probably need (more tuning / to be more strict in C) to get a working code.

II had to add a function to the first project (with IAR), And I migrate from CCE to IAR. Not so easy.



I'm not used with C language, and it was probably an error not to do the project on assembly. (I think I had been more efficient)



Just my experience...

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know about my experiences with the CCE compiler. A fair warning. I recently started writing code for a project which used the msp430F135 mcu. I have had extensive experience with Microchip, Intel, Motorola, and other devices, but not a lot with TI. I contacted TI and asked which development tools I should be using and was directed to the CCE product.

The product was purchased, and seemed to function properly, but I could never get my code to work. After wasting about three weeks going over code again and again, I tried the IAR environment. The very first compile gave me a working version of my code. I was upset that the TI compiler did not, but happy that I had good results. When I decided to purchase the IDE, I was shocked by the price. I was advised that the Crossworks IDE (beta for msp430 2.0) was about to be released, created tighter code, and cost a heck of a lot less. I am currently evaluating this product, and so far, am very pleased, although the Jury is still out.

Let me know about your experience once you have a clean compile.

Thanks,

Hello ALL

I juste migrate from IAR to CCE
(Trial over, CCE wins the match)

#pragma no_epilogue is not recognized in CCE ?
Does anyone know the correct syntax ?

Thanks for All.
