you can also load .a43 generated by mspgcc, but only as a "binary"
project (no source level debugging)

you still would not get C source level debugging. just the same as
above, additionally with some known labels.

anyway, the -mIAR option is not producing IAR style asm files. so its of
no real benefit.


i think there is a commercial debugger that can also load .elf files for
source level debugging, in case you don't like the the gdb/proxy
approach (which is unfortunately required due to licensing issues).
