These are Homebrew formulae for mspgcc, the compiler toolchain for the MSP430 microcontroller. The repository includes binutils, gcc, libc, and the mcu files.
This fork incorporates the patches needed to fix the MSP430x related bugs, and corresponds to the instructions in https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/wiki/MSP430X except it simplifies the process by utilizing homebrew.
To get everything, type:
$ brew tap beshrns/mspgcc
$ brew install msp430-libc
(takes about 1 hour)
Since libc is the top of the dependency chain, this should suffice to get everything you need.
$ msp430-gcc --version
msp430-gcc (GCC) 4.7.0 20120322 (mspgcc dev 20120911)
...
These formulae are quick n' dirty and undoubtedly need some improvement (missing dependencies, brittle workarounds, etc.). I also haven't (yet) included gdb or mspdebug.
To get mspdebug, simply do:
$ brew install mspdebug
One manual step is required to get a working system. Annoyingly, since the --prefix= compile option for each of these packages is different, each of the various tools can't find required files installed by other packages. To consolidate the various lib pieces under a common directory, run:
$ $(brew --prefix)/Homebrew/Library/Taps/beshrns/homebrew-mspgcc/addlinks.sh
This script symlinks everything from all the packages into msp430 under the msp430-gcc keg. This means your root for the MSP430 toolchain is something like /usr/local/opt/msp430-gcc/msp430 (which would be /usr/local/msp430 on a "normal" installation).
