MSP430 in ubuntu 13.04

[Andre Luiz Tietbohl Ramos]

Hello,

I'm just starting to explore this platform and am unable to solve a configuration issue (I guess) in the first program I try, very simple, below.

include "msp430x22x4.h"

volatile unsigned int i; // volatile to prevent optimization

void main(void)
{
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // stop watchdog timer
P1DIR |= 0X01; // set P1.0 to output direction

for(;;) {
P1OUT ^= 0x01; // toogle P1.0 exclusive-OR
i = 50000; // delay
do (i--);
while (i != 0);
}
}

When I try to compile it under ubuntu 13.04 I receive the error message below,

sigmatech@sigmatech:~/Desktop/ESL/code/MSP430$ msp430-gcc hello_word.c
/usr/lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file memory.x: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status/usr/lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file memory.x: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Could anyone help please?

TIA

PS - is there an emacs mode available?

This forum isn't normally used; please subscribe to and mail mspgcc-users for support. See the wiki.

You'll need to provide the MCU for which your program runs as a parameter to msp430-gcc for both compiling and linking. For example: -mmcu=msp430f2553

There are emacs modes for C, I don't know what one for mspgcc would look like.

When you post to mspgcc-users say where you got the toolchain, or if you built it yourself, or if it came with Ubuntu 13.04.
