Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F169, MSP430F5529
I just installed the newly released CCS6 (Version: 6.0.0.00190) with the GCC compiler (Version: 4.8.0.20140423).
When compiling an empty project (just the main.c template), I get a linker error for devices without the 20-bit X-architecture. It looks like it is only using the CRT0 binary for MSP430X devices and not the original architecture. For example when compiling for MSP430F169: (I shortened the output to make it more readable)
msp430-elf-gcc.exe -c -mmcu=msp430 -D__MSP430F169__ -I"c:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/gcc_msp430_4.8.371/msp430-elf/include" -I"c:/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/msp430/include_gcc" -Os -g -gstrict-dwarf -Wall -MMD -MP -MF"main.d" -MT"main.d" -o"main.o" "../main.c"
msp430-elf-gcc.exe -mmcu=msp430 -D__MSP430F169__ -Os -g -gstrict-dwarf -Wall -Wl,-Map,"gcc_test_1xx.map" -o"gcc_test_1xx.out" "./main.o" -T"../msp430f169.ld" -Wl,--start-group -l"c" -l"gcc" -Wl,--end-group
msp430-elf-ld.exe: error: ./main.o uses MSP430 instructions but .../msp430-elf/lib/crt0.o uses MSP430X
msp430-elf-ld.exe: failed to merge target specific data of file ./main.o
When I tried a device with the extended instruction set (MSP430F5529), it compiled fine.
Other than the device selection, all the settings are untouched (this is a fresh-out-of-the-box install)
