Kris,
I think you missed the point (or I am). He is not trying to compile linux for MSP430 using IAR, he wants to run IAR on his linux PC.

Oops -

Tnx Michael, spoke too soon :-) Why didn't I get that straight away ?
(probably because I'd been coding for about 16 hrs on getting freaking KGDB
to work
with remote kernel module debugging on Eclipse - but I did get it to work
:-)

Thanks for the updates. I think question mis leaded something.. I wanted
to know did any one developed linux enivrornament for MSP430. I mean can we
compile and load our programs to MSP430F2274 using linux either through IAR
or any other software.
Thanks,
Rajesh V

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.

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!

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.

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!

Replied while I was typing. Doh.
