How to download MSP430 GCC released 13 Mar 2020?

I'm trying to download MSP430 GCC from

http://www.ti.com/tool/download/MSP430-GCC-OPENSOURCE,

but I'm getting "Sorry! We are currently doing site maintenance." for any file link for last ten days.

Are here any estimates when download server will be up again?

  • Hi Lev,

    I test this link and be able to download normally, you can try again.

    Best Regards

  • Looks like there are some problems with Akamai CDN:

  • Ok, looks like I see the problem: release 8.3.2.2 contains wrong filenames in links, copy'n'pasted from previous release (8.3.1.0, file name with 8.3.1.25)!

    Please, fix the links!

    Update: manually changing links doesn't help. Only installers could be downloaded (first part of table with links), but not sources or patches :-(

    Also, message about "Maintaince" instead of Error 404 is very misleading.

  • Hi Lev,

    I found this issue, it looks like this site is being maintained, you can try again later, I will report the situation to the relevant team, thanks!

    Best Regards

  • Hi,

    In the meantime whilst TI fix the links on the latest release page, if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can access the version history and download the sources and patches from the previous release.

    The links on this page still work: http://www.ti.com/tool/download/MSP430-GCC-OPENSOURCE/8.3.1.0

    Note that the toolchain itself has not changed in between 8.3.1.0 and 8.3.2.2, the GCC version is still 8.3.1.25. So you should be able to get everything you need from the release page for 8.3.1.0.

    Regards,

  • Thank you!

    BTW. site IS NOT being maintained, it is WRONG error message, it is "404 Not Found" really.

  • Ohm thank you for information that is is same toolchain!

    Do you now, are here any plans to upgrade toolchain in near future?

    Yes, the MSP430-GCC toolchain is regularly maintained, and 3 new releases are put out every year.

    There'll be a new release with an update to GCC 9 and other improvements available in a few months.

    Sometimes when new devices are added, or the support files are updated, there is an update to the installers but not the toolchain. That is what the 8.3.2.2 release was.
