Freertos running on MSP430X

Started by linked82 May 13, 2008
Hi all,

Has anybody ever tried to run a port of FreeRtos (IAR, CCE,
Crossworks, GCC) into a MSP430X CPU? If yes, does change the assembler
code part? I Think it not should, given that is code compatible with
old CPUs (at least if 0xFFFF treshold is not surpassed).

Thanks

Best Regards.

Hi,
do you want to use FreeRtos or are you looking for a free realtime os
for MSP430 ?
What about B.lu BOS (http://blubos.sourceforge.net) ?

Bye,

even if he just wants any rtos without alot of work your project is pretty much
out of the running until you get it to work with another compiler as the
support for "x" cpus on mspgcc is pretty thin at this time..

Hi all,

It seems that Blubos does not support MSP430X cores, but please
correct me if I'm wrong.

It's thru that we are out of time at work, so we may use easy to port
tools. I finnaly managed with a bit of help to get the freertos
working on a MSP430X core using CCEv3. I also considered using MSPGCC
for this task, but I did not find support for MSP430X cores in a
former release, only patches. Are These patches reliable? Or should my
boss hang me on a rope if I spend one more minute on this mess?

The mspgcc has limits -- you are better off with a commercial compiler,
at least as soon as you start working with more complex data structures.
