$349 for PRO. We just released it. The code compression ratio is a bit
lower than we would like (2-10%), so we will continue to add more
optimizations and tune the code compressor (Yes Paul, I am grabbing the
X(SP) operands and adjust them to X+2(SP) already :-). ) Start a New Thread

i miss one here...

GNU C - mspgcc.sf.net

i'm one of the developers, so you can call this a shameless plug, but it
looks like not everyone is aware that there is realy a working GNU C
compiler for the MSP430 without any limitations, for free.

Ever curious, I looked at your website, but it still says that the
MSP430 Pro version is on its way, not actually here.

The website is being updated by the webmistress as we speak...

hi Chris
you'r right
I installed GCC and ported my application in about one day from IAR
environment
but I missed "small" sprintf() and sscanf() - NO float necessary - which
I need for UART communication
any idea/help?

Check out my new site msp430.info or go directly to

http://msp430.info/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1

There you will find a list on C-compilers for MSP430 and a short note
on each.

Hi Chris,

I installed the GCC toolchain several months back - didn't work, so reloaded
another version of GCC just in case I hand the wrong one ... gave up after a
while and loaded IAR Kickstart which ran first time.

Is there now a single Click-and-Go GCC distribution which will deliver an
IDE, Compiler, Assembler and Debugger for Windows all in one hit?
If so, where can I find it?

Or should I expect to mix-and-match compiler, libraries, Python, scripts,
GIVEIO, JTAG driver etc etc by hand?

[I don't mind doing that - it is freeware after all! However I would like to
know BEFORE I start the long process. At least then I can decide if I would
rather pay some money for a clean ready-to-roll commercial package to save
time & grief]

Thanks,

currently no IDE, but you can use GCC from many IDEs that are available
on the net. Eclipse.org and Dev-C++ for example.
the installer contains the compiler, binutils(as, linker, ...), gdb, and
some command line tools.

mspgcc.sf.net, see download section

the installer contains .exes for everything, you can click trough the
setup and run "make download" in one of the examples directory, e.g. the
leds example, which then downloads the freshly compiled stuff over the
parallel port JTAG Start a New Thread

you can provide your own printf (or vuprintf that is the real
implementation of all the *printf's) with your project, if you realy
need a smaller one.

to use printf() over the uart, simply define



after that printf() and puts() will write over the serial port

sscanf is currently not in the lib, contributions welcome.
