I just used the toolchain and kext from http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com/
* 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 <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):
 
$ cd mspgcc4 && perl buildgcc.pl
 
 
 
Currently fails with:
 
Running configure in multilib subdir msp3

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

I just used the toolchain and kext from http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com/
