== USB Driver ==
After trying to get GCC compiled for a couple of hours I came across http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com - which just seems to work. The [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Mac_OS_X_Support_-_MSP430 TI Mac page] is also handy if you want to use VMs on your Mac.
* Downloaded binary from http://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/digital_interface/f/130/t/55982.aspx
* Installed as per included instructions


== Building Toolchain ==
''Thanks to Morris for providing the LaunchPad (he bought several MSP430 dev kits for the space).''
* Make sure you have Xcode installed (for GCC et al) - you can download it from the App Store
* Install wget - just download (e.g. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.tar.gz) and compile:


$ ./configure --without-ssl
[[Category:Projects]]
$ sudo make install
Download the toolchain and bunutils:
$ git clone git://mspgcc4.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc4/mspgcc4
 
Fix to binutils version:
Change line 136 in <code>mspgcc4/buildgcc.pl</code> to: <code>$BINUTILS_VERSION = "2.21.1";</code>
 
Compile the build tools (select default options for everything apart from Insight - it won't compile by default on the Mac):

This page documents Flux's attempt to get the TI LaunchPad working on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. This is in preparation for development of HackSat1.

After trying to get GCC compiled for a couple of hours I came across http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com - which just seems to work. The TI Mac page is also handy if you want to use VMs on your Mac.

Thanks to Morris for providing the LaunchPad (he bought several MSP430 dev kits for the space).
