Module summary section and code and data size summary in MSP430 Code Composer map file

Lee Thalblum83

I'm moving an MSP430 project over from IAR to Code Composer. A couple of things I found useful in IAR's map file are the Module Summary section, which gives the code and data sizes for each module in a table, and the total sizes of code, data and constants for the entire program. I haven't been able to find a method to do something similar in Code Composer. Is there a way to provide this information in CCS? Thanks.

Please try the menu selection View -> Memory Allocation.

I was hoping to find a way to generate the information in the map file, to allow comparisons between builds, etc, but I appreciate the pointer. Any chance there's a linker option to get the same information? Thanks.

You can control what appears in the map file. See the section titled Managing Map File Contents in the MSP430 assembly tools manual. However, I don't think any of those options exactly show you are asking.

Consider using the sectti utility from the cg_xml package. One drawback is that this is a command line utility.

Thanks and regards,
