Short answer: I don't.
I don't need any pansy ass debugger to make my code work perfectly :)
(big grin)
Seriously tho, I just use copy to upload the .hex file generated by gcc.
It is very fast, and always works.  I have only caused it to crap out
when I forget to reconnect my target (and it tells you it's closing).
Instructions are on the front page here:

It Cspy a command line of:
msp430-objcopy -O ihex test1.elf test1.hex
To generate the .hex that Cspy will recognize and upload to the target.
If you are really interested, the debugger will work and even
dis-assembles your code back to assembly for the debug process.
However, all labels and "debug info" are stripped.  I have used this
from time to time to check things and it has worked perfectly.

The better solution is to use gdb.  However, I have found it to have
many "glitches" and am waiting for it to mature a little more.
(Specifically, gdb seems to really hate my Timer_A IRQ which can happen
as often as 3000Hz.)

Subject: [Mspgcc-users] using cspy with mspgcc


I saw in a recent post that someone was using cspy with mspgcc.  How do
you
create the cspy debug info in your makefile?  I tried using the example
from
the CVS archives:

#without cleanup...
#this one exports IAR compatibe assembler, asssembles it
#and creates a debug file for use with C-SPY
#the result is a ${NAME}.d43 file
iar: ${NAME}.elf
 msp430-objcopy -O msp430asm ${NAME}.elf ${NAME}.s43
 ${IAR_PATH}\a430 -r ${NAME}.s43 -o ${NAME}.r43
 ${IAR_PATH}\xlink -cmsp430 -r ${NAME}.r43 -o ${NAME}.d43

but the msp430-objcopy command fails.

Thanks,

Tom
