    Greetings,

    I strongly recommend you to buy a full version of the IAR Embedded Workbench if your project size is above the 4k size limitation that the Kickstart version gives you.

    To evaluate the full version, you can get a free 30 day time limited license which enables you to use the fully functional version without code size limitation for 30 days.

    See: http://supp.iar.com/Download/SW/?item=EW430-EVAL

     A free fuel furniture lifetime too, this implies a free Ferrari as optional ;)

     Hi Blake, IAR is definitively too much expensive, I used Quadravox for a lot of time and it was better supported for an acceptable price, also competitor like rowley sell for less at a good quality but this moment CCS is lowest cost.... TI don't promote it?

     I am currently using IAR demo version for educational purpose and on small code project but never I used on huge project. I Installed a 30 day demo version for MSP and ARM, licensing run on a collision also requiring XP reinstallation and a lot of time so I hate everything is requiring lock. Cracking practice drive protection to a risk of breaking also who is at right side too. I own an old beautiful CAD, it use a parallel dongle as lock, developer firm closed down, I still own a valid licence but I cannot use it due to parallel port obsolescence...

     At last I cannot believe someone asking for illegal practice like crack buy something cheap so never buy expensive one too...

    Well, I got lifetime free MSP tools two years ago, so it isn't completely impossible. :) However, I did something for it first. And I didn't ask for it.

    As for the compiler costs, well, I can understand that teh full icense of IAR (or CCS) is way too high for a hobby coder. It isn't (or at least shouldn't) for profesional work.

    But then, there's always the option of using MSPGCC, which is quite good, free, and has a good support (Peter Bigot does his best to fix bugs asap).
    It is, however, not as convenient and requires some learning. It's not a click-and-run compiler.

    Really?

    Many people spend similar amounts - and even more - on other hobbies; eg, musical instruments, sports equipment/training/tickets.

    Why are electronics hobbyists such skinflints?!

    Yes. If the LaunchPad costs $5, why spending 200 times as much for the compiler? Even if you just paid $150 for a big experimentes board and another $100 for the FETUIF, why spending so much for the software to actually use the hardware you bought?
    I can get a whole PC with Windoze and a free version of C++ studio (not code-size limited) for less.

    I don't say the compiler is overpriced. But it is a big chunk to swallow, especially for people who don't have the money for expensive hobbies (no matter which one).

    I did buy some MSP430 hardware, which came with demo programs as well at what was claimed to be a "cracked" version of IAR (which I didn't use). And no, I am not going to provide a link.

    Apart from the legal issues, why would you want to use a cracked version of software? If someone has the skills to disable the license validation what the chances they also added some malware?

    The other benefit of CCS is that a single license gets you support for all CPUs from TI (with the exception of 8051 used on some radio cores), compared with IAR which requires purchasing a license for each CPU family.

    It's getting there though, the last time I tried the MSPGCC+Eclipse+msp430-gdbproxy combo it worked quite nicely, once I properly set everything up (Eclipse can be a pain to configure properly).

    An added bonus for using the latest MSPGCC is that you get the new C11 and C++11 features (alignof operator, anonymous structs, static_assert which is just plain awesome to use in embedded programming, variadic templates + constant expressions + lambdas for C++, etc.), which will likely take forever for other embedded compiler vendors to implement.

    Hopefully someone can streamline the workflow enough in the future that we'll have an open source "click-and-run" toolchain for MSP430.

    Unfortunately including the Chronos AP (which needs new firmware if you want to extend the capabilities beyond the basic applciaiton) and the TUSB USB/ser converter chip.

    Even with the older version, you already had the benefits of GCC, like anonymous union members and structs (not new with C11), long long ints, a really awesome inline assembler that doesn't conflict with compiler optimizations and 0-byte struct members (useful as an offset into the data following the struct, like 'payload' offset in a datagram header struct)

    I'd really love to see this. Along with some improvements that remove conflicts with environment libraries (cygwin was a pain).

    One of the guys at 43oh.com created a msp430-gcc and mspdebug plugin for Eclipse. Closest thing to a "Click-and-run" I've seen.

     Sorry I miss this bonus, again free version of CCS has an higher than IAR limit so project can reach big complexity.

     

     On simple click and go, configuring Eclipse is a big pain also for expert user (me too).

     Code:Blocks IDE has direct support for MSPGCC and integrated GDB interface, I can try install MSPGCC, I got no trouble installing on Linux but a lot of trouble and no success on windoze.

     475US$ can be expensive for just MSP430 but again for all set of processors from TI is a bargains. The trouble come from TI removed one of family I was using and still some issue still exist after date promised for removal on linux version :(

    Resurrecting the old thread, for those of you who prefer to use the free/open-source MSP GCC compiler but also need a reliable and powerful debugging tool chain, have you tried using CCSv6? http://processors.wi...7s_new_in_CCSv6

     This new version of CCS adds support for GCC compiler for MSP430 projects. Once downloaded from the App Store, you can create a new MSP430 GCC project, develop, compile, and debug using either GCC or CCS MSP430 compiler.
