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) - 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 $ 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 mspgcc4/buildgcc.pl to: $BINUTILS_VERSION = "2.21.1";
