Project:MSP430 Mac Howto

This page documents Flux's attempt to get the TI LaunchPad working on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

USB Driver

• Downloaded binary from http://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/digital_interface/f/130/t/55982.aspx
• Installed as per included instructions

Building Toolchain

Make sure you have Xcode installed (for GCC et al)

Download the toolchain and bunutils:

$ git clone git://mspgcc4.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc4/mspgcc4

Fix to use Curl and current binutils version:

Change line 65 of mspgcc4/do-binutils.sh: substitute 'wget -c' for 'curl -O' (that's a capital letter o). Change line 136 in mspgcc4/buildgcc.pl to: $BINUTILS_VERSION = "2.21.1";
