Hello everyone, I'm trying out the mspgcc compiler for the first time on an old (resurected) project to get higher productivity than using assembler. But I have the early Ti programming adapter MSP-PRG430B. It only takes hex code in their .txt format which is suitable for sending directly to the monitor on the EVK module as well as the programmer.
Does the compiler or utils have some means to output this format rather than the usual Intel hex? (If not I'll knock up a Python script and pass it on here if anyone else should be interested - but why re-invent the wheel if it's already done.) Q2 For testing code snippets they can be run in the RAM using the Ti serial monitor (or the replacement I developed). Can the compiler be configured to a) not output the interrupt vector stuff at all ( for non interrupt snippets) or b) place the vector table at the top of RAM where the monitor, with a few extra cycles delay, passes interrupts on via ( for interrupt needing snippets). I'd welcome any thoughts, John Pote PS If someone could point me to the right part of the gcc manuals describing how to set the load/run addresses of the code (ie somewhere in RAM) that would be a real help.
