Hi all,
I have started putting together something approximating to real
documentation for mspgcc :-).
The stuff on the web site has a number of limitations. The information
on building the software was updated recently, so that part is not too
bad. The information about about mspgcc specific programming was put
together a long time ago, and shows it. It lacks important information
(like completely omitting how to handle low power modes - a significant
omission for the MSP430, I would say :-) ). Some has become irrelevant,
as better ways to achieve the same thing now exist (e.g. the RESERVE_RAM
attribute to main(), is mentioned, but the old messy ways of achieving
much the same thing aremore prominent). Some has a strong Russian accent
:-).
I took all I could find - the stuff from the web site, the stuff about
the MSP430 that was posted here a few days ago, various notes that
people have posted - and tried to mould them into the beginnings of a
real user oriented manual. You can find the current state of this at
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/mspgcc-manual.html. Anyone who
would like to
proof read, comment on, add to, or otherwise improve this is *most*
welcome to do so. Its still in a raw state, but I have got far enough
that I hope others might like to make some useful input.
If you would like to do any editting, the HTML is generated from a
simple XML file - http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/mspgcc-manual.xml
- which is turned into the working manual pages by a simple Python
program - http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/doclite.py - which is a
slightly modified version of the one you can find here -
http://doclite.sourceforge.net.
Regards,
Steve
