gcc compiler for msp430

I want to use gcc/gnu compiler for MSP 430 which is open source.

1) Is there any code size limit.

2)I have been the document of user guide. I didn't get it clearly. What happen if gcc(not msp430 Gcc) is already installed in my system. If install msp430 Gcc. In Which path tool chain of msp430 will get install.

3)What is the difference between if I use CCS Compiler and GCC compiler-I mean the level of optimization and other features

  • Hi Suman,

    I have moved this thread to the C/C++ Compiler forum since this seems like it is a toolchain/compiler question.

    Regards,

    Katie

    No.

    The other gcc compiler will be installed in a different directory.  The msp430 compiler will be installed in a directory path similar to C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\gcc_msp430_4.9.14r1_10 .

    This exact question is addressed in detail on the main MSP430 gcc page.

    Thanks and regards,
