hello guys...I need some advice..
i bought a TI dev kit with IAR kickstart compiler. Did some practice
and familiarization with MSP430. Now that i want to make a longer
code (more than 4K), i need the comercial version but the commercial
version is damn expensive. i got this info from supplier.
DESCRIPTION PRICE
IAR Embedded WorkBench EW430-LE
+ DGL-USB Embedded C/C++ Compiler,
Assembler, USB dongle, SGD$ 2,650
IAR Embedded Workbench EW430-LE + DGL-USB
Embedded C/C++ Compiler, Assembler, Simulator,
JTAG Debugger software, USB dongle,
RTOS Plugin for CMX and UCOS-II SGD$ 3,650
As per note, there is SGD$ 1000 diference between the two package.
Would you think the 1st one is enough for development? What is the
purpose of the JTAG debugger saoftware?
thanks for advice

You could try the Rowley compiler, it's a lot cheaper and support is
excellent.

we use the crossworks from rowley, imo this compiler has the best
price/cost ratio with rly good service.
u can test it for 30 days though.

Watch out !
It's not until you've actually PAID for the tools you're told with a smirk that you need to pay
TWENTY % of the purchase price each year to receive ongoing "support". (I presume that's still the
same, that's what happened to me).
Like others stated, spend way less money and try Rowley's much superior CW430 CrossWorks.

I've also had very good results using AQ430 from quadravox/archelon.

The IAR Macro Assembler does not allow you to convert the value of
macro variables into strings. That may not seem like much but that
feature alone allows a macro to create labels and dynamic jumps. And
in doing so it is possible to extend the language significantly.
Even when I was on the 30 day trial, Paul provided amazing support.
I'd get a response within a day and they're usually asleep when we up.

I've been using CCE for a substantial project and a number of smaller
ones. I started with version 1 which had a number of issues. It was
updated last year to 2.0 with substantial improvements. I have since
gone to the unlimited version of 2.0 and been quite pleased. I am
also very happy with the level of support that I have received from
TI. CCE costs less than any of the others and does the job quite
well. It is well worth considering. They too, offer a code size
limited, 8K, version as a download.

Hi,
I would never recommend IAR after the crummy support I have received
with the MSP430 compiler. Save some $'s, and lots of frustration,
buy something else.

I thank you all guys for the comments and advice. I'll evaluate the Rowley
Crossworks for MSP430. seems more are recommending this.
