Hi,

I could not find the device, MSP430FR4133, in IAR compiler. When would it be loaded? Also, MSPGCC does not fully support MSP430FR4133. When /how can I get the compiler support for it?

Thank you -JKim

The last release of mspgcc was over two years ago; it does not and never will support this chip.

The MSP430FR4xx devices are supported by the upstream msp430-elf gcc, including the fork provided by TI at http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource (for which there is a new release) and in the version packaged with CCS 6.0.1.

Peter,

Still I do not see where MSP430-elf gcc that support MSP430FR4133. The link (http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource in the version packaged wit CCS 6.0.1.) you provided does not support MSP430FR4133. Could you let me know where I can download CCS that support MSP430FR4133?

Thank you.

Perhaps you need to update.

Sorry, I can't help you beyond asserting that it works (I've built applications for the MSP-EXP430FR4133 with it).

Lixin,

Is there any evaluation version available for the service pack 6.10.5 or 7? I do not have regular license for IAR, thos service packs are not available for users without registered license.

Thank you.

JKim,

Yes. There is 30 days limitation evaluation version available in www.iar.com - http://supp.iar.com/Download/SW/?item=EW430-EVAL . There is also size limitation version in the same link.

MSPGCC has supported MSP430FR4133 since a while. You can find it here: http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource

Thanks,

Lixin

MSPGCC is not the compiler provided on that page. You can see a table on that page that clearly distinguishes between "Proprietary TI Compiler", "New MSP430-GCC" (what I call msp430-elf), and MSPGCC. mspgcc was an independent out-of-tree port that was in active development from 2001 until 2013, and that everybody should move away from as soon as possible because it's been superseded by the TI-sponsored port now available in upstream GCC.

Please don't use "MSPGCC" to refer to the new compiler, which is neither source- nor object-file compatible with the real mspgcc. It just confuses people who will find outdated information if they search on that name.

I still do not get compiler for MSP430FR4133. Could you help with these two questions again? FYI, I am using windows 7 and 8. Since I am very ignorant of IAR and GCC, step by step instruction will be very much appreciated.

1. On IAR, if I do not have regular license, how can I get compiler and libraries for MSP430FR4133?

2. On GCC, does "New MSP430-GCC (or MSP430-elf) provide compiler and libraries for MSP430FR4133? Iso, where can I get them?

Thank you.

http://www.iar.com/Service-Center/Downloads/ provides IAR for MSP430FR4133.

GCC does not support MSP430FR4133

IAR for MSP430 can be downloaded from IAR: http://supp.iar.com/Download/SW/?item=EW430-EVAL

The latest version integrats compiler for MSP430FR4133.

Yes. Download from http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource . Click "Get software" button and follow the instructions.

IAR issue is resolved.

On GCC, I installed, and found MSP430FR4133.h and ld files in include folder, while MSP430FR4133 is not listed under "TI Devices" section on http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource
