Setting up MSP430 development environment under Ubuntu

Download gcc:http://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/from here

After downloading it is a zip package, extracted, and then set environment variables, for example:

Export path= $PATH: $HOME/tools/mspgcc-20120406-p20120911/bin

You can compile a simple program to test, for example:

#include <msp430x14x.h>

void main (void)
{
	Wdtctl = (WDTPW | Wdthold);	/* Stop watchdog Timer */

	p2dir = 0x08;
	P2out = 0x08;

	while (1);			/* Stop here */
}

Makefile is:

LED.ELF:MAIN.C
	msp430-gcc.exe-os-mmcu=msp430f149-o led.elf main.c clean

:
	rm led.elf
