Hello all,
Do you know a tool which parses the asm source code and generates a call
graph?
tool for generating call graph from assembler

OCY will know what you are talking about. I can imagiine. I wrote an
assembler for the 6502 some decades ago and would list calls at the end.
But from the 'source' as a tool? And just what tool are you using?
mspgcc and IAR and ... have different ways of doing things. Try the
documentation on the tool you are using. There should be a switch,
shouldn't there? And I'm almost sure it will be an assembly switch, I
can't imagine some 'source' parser. (No research on my part, not my job.)
Best, Dan.

You could have a look at doxygen. It is a code documentation system,
and does vastly more than generate call graphs, but that is one of its
features.

I have searched the Internet for such a tool, tried doxygen - it only works for
C/C++, C#, java and php files. The only tool i have found was mspdebug. I have
installed it on a ubuntu 10.04 machine, tried to install also the msp-gcc
toolchain but msp430-ld can't be found when running from eclipse (i've
verified the path variable - it is correct). I have decided to assemble the asm
file which i want to analyze via a call graph with iar ewb. I have generated
from iar all types of file: bin, .elf, hex. The mspdebug successfully loaded the
files generated from iar. The problem is I have no file with the symbols to load
into the mspdebug to generated the call graph. Mspdebug manual specifies that
BSD style symbol table must be loaded. Do you know what structure has this kind
of table, so I can translate the map file generated from iar to BSD style symbol
table?

You might have more luck with this type of question in the mspgcc-users
group, where most of the MSPDebug traffic is. Here's a link to a MSPDebug
thread discussing symbol table info (
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id%237182). See the
later messages.
