Bug#792293: gcc-msp430: please provide msp430 cross-compiler based on mainline gcc

2015-07-13 Thread gcc-msp430.bug@discard.email
Package: gcc-msp430
Version: 4.6.3~mspgcc-20120406-7
Severity: important
 
The gcc-msp430 package in Debian is based on the obsolete mspgcc project.
Now that upstream gcc officially supports the msp430 architecture, there should
be a new gcc-msp430 package providing an msp430 cross-compiler based on
the msp430 support in mainline gcc.


Bug#792296: gcc-msp430: scary warning in package discription no longer relevant

2015-07-13 Thread gcc-msp430.bug@discard.email
Package: gcc-msp430
Version: 4.6.3~mspgcc-20120406-7
 
The long description for gcc-msp430 contains the following scary warning:
 
BEWARE: due to a bug in the memory layout reference of FRAM-based
chips, this package DOES NOT WORK with MSP430FR5xxx chips (eg.
FraunchPad devkit). DO NOT use gcc-msp430 on that chip series, as you
will lose access to JTAG and BSL, and permanently BRICK your chip!
 
I suspect this is a reference to bug #706482 https://bugs.debian.org/706482
 
However, bug #706482 was marked as fixed in version
4.6.3~mspgcc-20120406-7.
 
If the warning message is no longer applicable it should be removed.
