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

Toolchain Prerequisites

• Requires Xcode to be installed (for GCC et al)

Download the toolchain and bunutils:

$ git clone git://mspgcc4.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc4/mspgcc4
$ cd mspgcc4
$ curl -O http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1.tar.bz2

Comment out line 65 (wget) in mspgcc4/do-binutils.sh (OS X doesn't include wget and we've already downloaded the file above).
