I tried to install the original IAR Embedded Workbench IDE under Wine and it looks like it compiles the real code examples but the problem is that it creates some strange file formats and not the traditional .elf format. Can I upload these files to the microcontroller ? They are something like .r43 and so on.

Hi. I'm new in the "microcontroller world" I bought my first one a week ago. I'm actually from Sofia, Bulgaria but I study in Germany. I don't have any major plans about microcontroller programming up to now. It's only a hobby at the moment and maybe later will be my job as well Cheers from Germany.

tuchkata@tuchkata:~$ msp430-gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: msp430 Configured with: /home/tuchkata/mspgcc4/build/gcc-4.4.3-build/../gcc-4.4.3/configure --prefix=/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.3 --target=msp430 --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-pkgversion=MSPGCC4_r4-20100210 Thread model: single gcc version 4.4.3 (MSPGCC4_r4-20100210)

I don't really compile the examples because I don't have enough time at the moment but I just saw the difference between some original examples and some mspgcc examples. Can you give me some advices how to better learn the mspgcc or can you give me some links with documentation or tutorials about it ? Thank you in advance P.S. I found some nice tutorials here : Part 1, Part 2, Interrupts I'll try them on Friday or Sunday when I have more time.

Hi. One week ago I bought this microcontroller Kit : https://estore.ti.com/MSP-EXP430G2-MSP430-LaunchPad-Value-Line-Development-kit-P2031.aspx . It's the cheapest one for new devolepers so I decided to take it first and maybe later I'll buy an Arduino. I use mostly Linux (Ubuntu and Debian). Actually, I have a dualboot with Windows 7 but I don't really like the idea to restart my PC every time when I decide to programm the controller. So I installed mspgcc and everything about the Launchpad. I have to say it works pretty good. I can upload directly to the controller all apps that I programm bu
