Hello!

No, I don't use mspgcc+eclipse, sorry.
I use CCE and IAR on a mac, via VMWare / WindowsXP.

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

Hi,

the USB stuff works fine with VMWare (Windows as guest system)
I use the msp430-gdbproxy and the Olimex MSP430-JTAG-TINY without problems.
I have no experience with Virtual Box. But I'm sure "Virtual PC" DOESN'T
work .

There is some instruction to install the GCC + Eclipse environment under
Linux if you
follow the link (http://www.develissimo.net/index.html there is an
english and a german version)
but I have never tried it and it seams to be build on older versions.

Regards,

Dirk

MSPGCC + Code::Blocks is also a good alternative.

You can also try VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) which is a free equivalent to VMWare.
But I don't know if those "virtual machine" solutions can handle neither the IAR USB dongle nor a debugger like MSP-FET430UIF.

Pascal,

Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs , I will go ahead with
mspgcc+eclipse, If you used this combination can you help me in this regard
. I am using MSP430F2274
Thanks in advance,

Replied while I was typing. Doh.

Yah, you would still need windows to do it in a VM.
Didnt read the whole thread properly, but I dont think anyone mentioned "wine". This is a program on linux that allows you to use windows apps on linux, without installing windows. I havent tried it with IAR, but it works well with the stuff I have tried.
My laptop is too old to run a modern version of windows at acceptable speed, making it faster than real windows, on this machine at least!

Hello!

Good point!
Yes, you need a copy of Windows. The advantage over alternative systems such
as Wine is that it runs exactly as a native application, and the speed difference
is not noticeable (at least from my point of view).

You can run Windows application directly (without Windows) with Wine and its
Mac equivalent CrossOver. But I don't know whether IAR, for instance, runs on top
of CrossOver or not. The number of really working applications is apparently limited.

Do you still need to install a copy of Windows/Vista in your Virtual Machine when you use VMWare to run IAR? I know with Parallels you need to install a copy of Windows in the Virtual Machine to run a Windows program.

Hello!

There are only few non-windows development systems.
Crossworks has a MacOS-X version, and it's the only commercial
non-windows IDE I know.

You may also consider mspgcc + Eclipse. The main advantage is
that it is free.

And last solution, you can run any windows IDE on Linux or Mac
by using VMWare. I am using IAR on Mac with VMWare, and I also
successfully tried CCE 3.
