Thanks, Chris, for your reply and for your hard work on mspgcc.
msp430-run no longer complains about my program -- now it segfaults
instead. :-)
% cat foo.c
unsigned dummy;
int main (void) { return 0; }
% msp430-gcc -o foo.msp foo.c
% msp430-run foo.msp
zsh: 30910 segmentation fault msp430-run foo.msp
I guess msp430-run is unpopular. Maybe I'll bang on it again in a few
months. In the meantime, I'm going to bend mspsim to my needs.
Thanks again for replying.
