Clone the msp430-template repository (or fork it and clone your own repository).
git clone git@github.com:uctools/msp430-template -
Modify the Makefile:
- Set TARGET to the desired name of the output file (eg: TARGET = main)
- Set SOURCES to a list of your sources (eg: SOURCES = main.c two.c three.c)
- Set MCU to the MSP430 part number to build for (eg: MCU = msp430g2231)
-
Run
make -
The output files will be created in the 'build' folder
To flash a device using mspdebug, run mspdebug and specify a debugger.
For the MSP430 Launchpad, the debugger is rf2500:
mspdebug rf2500
Note, you may need to run mspdebug as root.
In mspdebug, you can load and run the program:
(mspdebug) load build/main.hex
(mspdebug) run
Further support on using mspdebug is available on the mspdebug homepage and in the mspdebug manual.
