Peter from Slovenia, PtujAugust 2007

This tutorial describes how to install msp-gcc and msp-gdb using deb packages and set eclipse for msp430debugging under Ubuntu.I use Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.Things I had to do to make it work:

ECLIPSE:

I installed Eclipse using Automatix2:Figure 1: Automatix2

CDT:

Then I downloaded following plugins for Eclipse from http://www.zylin.com :

●

embeddedcdt-linux-gtk-20070424.zip

●

zylincdt-20070424.zipExtracted and copied its contents to "features" and "plugins" directory here:

●

/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins

●

/usr/lib/eclipse/features

MSPGCC:

I used this rpms for mspgcc from this tutorial (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8682):Downloaded from the cdk4msp SourceForge download page:cdk-msp-base-0.2-20031111.i386.rpm cdk-msp-binutils-2.14-20031106.i386.rpm cdk-msp-examples-libc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm cdk-msp-examples-mspgcc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm cdk-msp-gcc-3.3.2-20031106.i386.rpm cdk-msp-gdb-5.1.1-20031106.i386.rpm cdk-msp-gdb-proxy-5.1.1-20031106.i386.rpm cdk-msp-jtag-lib-20031101cvs-20031102.i386.rpm cdk-msp-libc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm and converted them to .deb using alien which I installed using synaptic:sudo alien -k cdk-msp-base-0.2-20031111.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-binutils-2.14-20031106.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-examples-libc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-examples-mspgcc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-gcc-3.3.2-20031106.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-gdb-5.1.1-20031106.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-gdb-proxy-5.1.1-20031106.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-jtag-lib-20031101cvs-20031102.i386.rpm sudo alien -k cdk-msp-libc-20031101cvs-20031102.noarch.rpm Then I installed converted .deb files with synaptic:MSPGCC was installed here:/opt/cdk4mspThen I started to configure Eclipse from this tutorial which was written for Windowz users:It was very helpful.http://msp430.techcontent.net/wiki/index.php/IDEs/Eclipse
