Hello,
Some windows users might be interested to know that the Bloodshed
Dev-C++ IDE (http://www.bloodshed.net/) can be configured to work with
the msp430-gcc toolchain – including automatic makefile creation.
Is anyone else using Dev-C++ ? I find it has a very nice editor and
much cleaner/easier to use then the existing msp430 IDE’s. It also
includes a debugger with support for gdb, though I have not yet been
able to get this working for msp430-gdb . I was hoping that someone
else will have or (did have) more success, but it may not be possible
as it seems to lack some of the basic essential features that Insight
has (like “continue”) . Even so I think it would be a nice IDE to use
with Insight or other GDB GUI if the onboard debugger doesn’t work out.
On that note, is there a flag/parameter that can be passed in to
Insight/gdb on launch to specify the opening file and the” target
msp430 host:1000” setting?
DevC++ looks kind of nice, but I tried it quickly last week and had
problems. I changed the configuration so it uses msp430-gcc for compile
and so on. However, DevC++ seemed to add a strange path prefix to what I
entered and failed to find the right program. I was using the latest
beta of DevC++. Does anyone have a forumla for what needs tuning for
embedded development.
Its a pity DevC++ is built with non-free Windows locked tools. That
makes me somewhat reluctant to use it. I want an IDE I can extend, and
which will build on Linux (and hopefully BSD).
Regards,
Steve
