Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP430F5659, msp430mcu-20130321, Windows

[Thierry V. <thi...@se...>]

Hello Peter,

Thank you for answering.

I have seen the mailing list entry you mentioned before.

In it, you said that the release 20130321 of msp430mcu is not working with
FRAM chips but the F5659 is not using FRAM this is why I was thinking that
it was feasible to use its headers from 20130321-msp430mcu with previous
builds. So is it supposed to work with this non FRAM chip?

Best regards,

TV
