Hi I am new to this and to GNU software in general. I have installed MSPGCC on my Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs (directly from the zip file). I created a small project, and all the C source files compile with msp430-gcc without errors. The first problem I encountered was that msp430-ld would not find the "memory.x" file. I can see that it looks for this file in a couple of directories, but not in a directory where the file is. I "solved" that problem by copying a suitable "memory.x" file to the working directory. Then I tried to debug the program using msp430-gdb (with "target sim" followed by "load" and "file") but the debugger crashes as soon as I give the "start" command. I also tried with mspsim, but it returns an error that I don't understand. I tried both programs with another ELF file and they work fine. When I look at my output file, I have the feeling that something is missing. My stuff is all there but there is not much else.
What could I be doing wrong? Here is a fragment of the batch file that I am using: ------------------ set CFLAGS=-g -Os -mmcu=msp430f1611 msp430-gcc -c %CFLAGS% -o build\main.o main.c msp430-gcc -c %CFLAGS% -o build\xluper430430.o xluper430430.c msp430-gcc -c %CFLAGS% -o build\xluper430430testencodings.o xluper430430testencodings.c msp430-ld build\main.o build\xluper430430.o build\xluper430430testencodings.o -Map build\x4.map -o build\x4.firmware ------------------ The directory containing msp430-gcc.exe and msp430-ld.exe is in the system path. My main() function is shown to begin at 0x4000, which contains a "call" instruction (but the debugger seems to crash before executing that instruction). Thanks in advance Alessandro Triglia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Mspgcc-users mailing list Mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users
