Linux support is now available for MSP430 MCUs with the latest version of TI's Code Composer Studio (CCS) v5 IDE!
Not only is Linux support provided in this latest version of CCS, but unique MSP430 tools have also been integrated into Code Composer Studio!
ULP Advisor is a static code analyzing tool that checks your MSP430 code against a set of Ultra-Low power firmware best practices. If it finds any areas of improvement, ULP Advisor will provide recommendations & resources to help you improve your code for true Ultra-Low Power performance!
MSP430Ware is also integrated into CCS, which is a complete resource package for all MSP430 devices. It is delivered in an intuitive GUI, which allows developers to filter content and resources by specific microcontroller device, development tool or software library! As users navigate through the GUI, resources such as datasheets, code examples & user's guides will immediately filter and present itself to the developer, providing a one stop shop for all MSP430-related resources.
