Hello Ben,

Yes I downloaded them from

http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource

so they are the production version.

Thank you any way,

Kees

The "production" version of GCC for MSP430, which TI announced* on August 18,
lives here:

  http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource

... whereas the URL you mentioned seems to refer to a beta release.

I don't know whether the production version fixes the syntax error you saw, but
perhaps it's worth a try.

TI seems to change the naming conventions of the source releases with
each package, which also makes it difficult to figure out what's going
on.  2.00.00's msp430-gcc-14r1-10-source.tar.bz2 is bitwise identical
to 2.01.01's msp430-gcc-source.tar.bz2.  Either there is no difference
in the toolchain between 2.00.00 and 2.01.01, or the source archive
http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPGCC/latest/exports/msp430-gcc-source.tar.bz2
was not updated.

The 2.01.01 headers files in
http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPGCC/latest/exports/msp430-support-files.zip
are slightly different: USBRAM sections in linker files, cleanup of
some RTC defines.

Neither situation would fix the issue with the interrupt declaration;
I don't know what the problem is there; probably the new toolchain
requires a different interrupt declaration syntax than you're using.

The versioning of our package works as follows:

1. Digit: GCC Version
2. Digit: Debug stack version
3. Digit: Header/linker file version
4. Digit: Build number

This basically means that the delta from 2.0.0.0 to 2.1.1.0 is:
- Identical GCC version
- Updated Debug Stack
- Updated header/linker files

Why did we do this?
We're shipping stand-alone packages & "distributions" that include all of the 
above. With the version scheme you instantly see if we just updated support 
files OR the debug Stack OR the actual compiler. This will hopefully help you 
to determine where you want to update or not.

2014-09-10 Thread Peter Bigot
That makes sense and is a good practice.

Could you ensure that the source tar files and support files include
that version information in the file name?  E.g.
msp430-gcc-source-2_x_x.tar.bz2 and msp430-gcc-support-2_x_1.zip?
Where the prefix "msp430-gcc-" is consistent (don't drop the "gcc"
unless the support files are supposed to work with CCS and IAR too);
"x" indicates a placeholder dont-care; and assuming that the build
number never involves any source changes so should pretty much always
be zero and can be dropped from source-only packaging.

It'd also be consistent with best practices if, when those archives
were unpacked, the contents appeared in a directory that matched the
base name of the tar file, rather than a bare unversioned "source" or
"include" directory.

This would carry the easy-to-identify information over to the parts of
the distribution that currently lack it.

Thanks for your consideration.

Re: [Mspgcc-users] msp430-elf-gcc (GCC) 4.9.1 20140707 (prerelease (msp430-14r1-10)) (GNUPro 14r1) (Based on: GCC 4.8 GDB 7.7 Binutils 2.24 Newlib 2.1)

2014-09-10 Thread DJ Delorie

The GCC manual, chapter "Extensions to the C Language Family" section
"Function Attributes" documents the interrupt attribute:

  void f () __attribute__ ((interrupt (15)));

or
  void __attribute__ ((interrupt (15))) f ()
  {
  }

Note that the attribute tells gcc to create a section
__interrupt_vector_15 (in this case) that contains a pointer to the
function.  It's up to the linker to combine these sections into your
interrupt vector table, so make sure you either use TI's runtime or
understand what gcc is doing behind the scenes.  Use "msp430-elf-gcc
-S file.c" or "msp430-elf-gcc --save-temps ..." to get access to the
*.s assembly files to see what's going on.
