Pointing ccsv4 to a GNU/LINUX cross-compiler

RH44284

Hello,

My work group has been compiling our programs with the CodeSourcery GNU/LINUX cross-compiler for ARM for a while.  I have just starting working with ccsv4 and am curious to know about the compatibility of GNU/LINUX compilers with ccsv4.  The current version we are using from CodeSourcery is: arm-2010-q1-202

I found an article in Ti's wiki about this :  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GCC_-_Create_a_project#Using_mspgcc_for_MSP430_cross_compile

There is a note at the bottom stating:

Important! The ability to debug your code within CCSv4 is highly dependent on the type of the GCC version chosen. The Codesourcery for GNU/Linux does not generate binaries that are compatible with CCSv4 debugger

I would actually like to try this out before reaching a conclusion. However, it would help to know if it is even possible to debug pre-compiled binaries in ccsv4 (if they were compiled using GNU/LINUX compiler)  or to make ccsv4 point to a different cross-compiler.  It seems that is should be logically possible.

Thank you in advance.
