Can you tell me what this file is??
f:
cd f:\programme\mspgcc\bin
msp430-jtag -e f:\programme\eclipse\workspace\...\....elf
msp430-gdbproxy --port=2000 msp430
Anymore information that you could give us would be greatly appreciated as I
also have now spend about 2 days trying to get this system up and running.
I seem to be having trouble with the makefile, where does it come from?
I believe this complier works and has great potential, however the supporting
literature is worse than terrible.

Subject: [Mspgcc-users] msp430-gcc + Eclipse support under Linux?
Hi,
i have been successfully debugging with Eclipse 3.0 and mspgcc unter W2K.
There was one major problem getting it to work:
I found a web site with a description on how to do it. Besides a lack of
explanation of the intended workings, that description was old and invalid. It
seems like, there has been an important change in Eclipse in that recent
versions can make msp430-gdb connect to msp430-gdbproxy automatically. With old
versions you had to include statements in the gdb.ini file to setup the
connection. Now when you use the new Eclipse with the old ini file, you are
really trying to connect to msp430-gdbproxy TWICE and an error results. It
cannot work. So my ini file looks like this:
set remoteaddresssize 16
set remotetimeout 999999
set download-write-size 512
set remote memory-write-packet-size 512
set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
set remote memory-read-packet-size 512
set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
mon reset
The ini file sits in the Eclipse workspace in the same directory as the elf
file. There is no "target remote localhost:2000" command and no "load ....elf"
command.
Loading the elf file to the debugger and to the debugging gui is automatic in
Eclipse, if you select the right binary parser. The download (jtag programming)
is included in a batch file that also starts up gdbproxy. The default port
number is as good as 2000, except you have to setup eclipse to tell msp430-gdb
to use the correct port.
f:
cd f:\programme\mspgcc\bin
msp430-jtag -e f:\programme\eclipse\workspace\...\....elf
msp430-gdbproxy --port=2000 msp430
f:\programme\eclipse is the path where i installed Eclipse.
f:\programme\mspgcc is the path where i installed mspgcc.
Solving the problems took some time and is impossible without studying a
little bit the gdb manual. Eclipse includes a console window where you can
watch some of the data exchanged with the msp430-gdb. You can also enter
commands by hand, e.g. to reset everything.
So the intended connection scheme looks like this:
Eclipse <-> msp430-gdb <-> Socket <-> msp430-gdbproxy <-> Parallel port <->
JTAG cable <-> MSP430 (DUT)
msp430-jtag AND msp430-gdb AND Eclipse need to read the elf file
Eclipse is something rather impressive. Debugging failed, though, when i had
multiline embedded assembler sequences in my MSP430 source.
