Rickta59 589 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm wondering if there are people out there who have thought about using Energia on linux but when they couldn't find a binary distribution stopped looking? If you would like to see a binary distribution, what linux distribution are you running ubuntu, debian or something else? Is it 64 bit or 32bit? Do you already have the latest msp430-gcc ( 4.6.3 ) or (4.5.3) ? If you don't have a gcc compiler would you want it bundled? I personally run ubuntu 11.04 32 bit with the latest 4.6.3 compiler. -rick Philipp, bcarroll and bluehash 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Genesisfactor 2 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i wouldn't mind that. Been stuck in Windows land for senior design. need to try out 12.04 anyways... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ubuntu-32 bit is mostly used, so that would be a good start. Philipp and bcarroll 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matyvico 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah! Please! I totally agree I'm currently using : -Fedora 17 (32-bit) -kernel 3.4.4-5.fc17.i686 with this: -gcc-4.7.0-5.fc17.i686 -mspdebug.i686 0:0.19-1.fc17 And I really want to totally move away from Windows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blund 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yes! A least instructions on how to build Energia for Linux. I cloned the git repostory yesterday (400+ MB?!). Used Synaptic to install msp430-gcc v4.5.3. Ran "ant clean build run" in the build directory. Energia started (with support for all the Arduino platforms, not just the Launchpad). I loded the "Blink" example and hit Verify and got: /home/alan/Documents/Programs/Energia/build/linux/work/hardware/msp430/cores/msp430/wiring_analog.c: In function Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickta59 589 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yes to compile change to the build directory and type "ant clean build run" @blund You should give msp430-4.6.3 a try. The header files for the msp430g2231 chip changed between 4.5.3 and 4.6.3. The blink code does compile with either version of the compiler if you are using the larger chips. It seems like a lot of people trying this out recently are using the older launchpad with an msp430g2231 chip. More time has been spent getting the g2452 and g2553 chips to work as they have a a bit more memory and two Timers instead of one. You might want to sample an msp430g2553 chip or just spend another $4.30 and get a newer V1.5 launchpad that come with the msp430g2553 and msp430g2452 chips. -rick Philipp and bcarroll 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidr 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm new here, so first hello to all. Running Fedora 17, kernel 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64. I've compiled git version and energia-0101e0007-beta-linux without problems. Energia compiles OK and msp430-gcc too. But when I want to compile anything, Energia complains that it can't find/run msp430-g++. I cant find msp430-g++ anywhere . If I compile msp430-gcc included in energia-0101e0007-beta-linux all is OK, but msp430-g++ is missing. I've installed Fedora binary package of msp430-gcc and msp430-g++ is also missing. On my laptop running Ubuntu, I've installed binary package gcc-msp430 and msp430-g++ is included. There Energia works OK, but I have the same problems as blund when compiling for msp430g2231.

Rickta59 589 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Unfortunately, most distributions are shipping older versions of the msp430-gcc. Energia assumes 4.6.3 msp430-gcc --version shows your version. I've been trying to stay out of the business of shipping an msp430-gcc binary as it is huge and I didn't really want to become support central for the compiler. There are just too many linux distributions out there to provide any kind of real support. It would be best if you figured out how to either compile gcc or find a precompiled version for your distribution. For Ubuntu/debian users, there is a newer binaries in sid that can be grabbed. Although I haven't tried. -rick davidr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidr 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Script from your link works for me too! Script included in energia-0101e0007-beta-linux didn't build msp430-g++, but the one from your link did. But now here is another problem... Compiler starts but does not recognise MCU-s: cc1: MCU msp430g2231 not supported Known MCU names: msp1 msp2 msp430x110 msp430x112 msp430x1101 msp430x1111 msp430x1121 msp430x1122 msp430x1132 msp430x122 msp430x123 msp430x1222 msp430x1232 msp430x133 msp430x135 msp430x1331 msp430x1351 msp430x147 msp430x148 msp430x149 msp430x1471 msp430x1481 msp430x1491 msp430x155 msp430x156 msp430x157 msp430x167 msp430x168 msp430x169 msp430x1610 msp430x1611 msp430x1612 msp430x2001 msp430x2011 msp430x2002 msp430x2012 msp430x2003 msp430x2013 msp430x2101 msp430x2111 msp430x2121 msp430x2131 msp430x2112 msp430x2122 msp430x2132 msp430x2232 msp430x2252 msp430x2272 msp430x2234 msp430x2254 msp430x2274 msp430x233 msp430x235 msp430x2330 msp430x2350 msp430x2370 msp430x247 msp430x248 msp430x249 msp430x2410 msp430x2471 msp430x2481 msp430x2491 msp430x2416 msp430x2417 msp430x2418 msp430x2419 msp430x2616 msp430x2617 msp430x2618 msp430x2619 msp430x311 msp430x312 msp430x313 msp430x314 msp430x315 msp430x323 msp430x325 msp430x336 msp430x337 msp430x412 msp430x413 msp430x415 msp430x417 msp430x423 msp430x425 msp430x427 msp430x4250 msp430x4260 msp430x4270 msp430xG4250 msp430xG4260 msp430xG4270 msp430xE423 msp430xE425 msp430xE427 msp430xE4232 msp430xE4242 msp430xE4252 msp430xE4272 msp430xW423 msp430xW425 msp430xW427 msp430xG437 msp430xG438 msp430xG439 msp430x435 msp430x436 msp430x437 msp430x4351 msp430x4361 msp430x4371 msp430x447 msp430x448 msp430x449 msp430xG4616 msp430xG4617 msp430xG4618 msp430xG4619 msp430x4783 msp430x4784 msp430x4793 msp430x4794 msp430x5418 msp430x5419 msp430x5435 msp430x5436 msp430x5437 msp430x5438 (null):0: confused by earlier errors, bailing out David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bcarroll 2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 A debian package for the Raspberry Pi would be awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickta59 589 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't think any of us have a raspberry PI. Paired with the msp430 it would create a useful networking and data sampling duo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philipp 56 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 i actually ordered one a few weeks ago and i am still waiting for it to arrive because of the massive demand on these little linux boards it takes a whole lot of time to get through the preorder queue... when it arrives and i got it set up, i might try to compile energia and the mspdebug stuff on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
art65536 1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Im using fedora 17 64bit, no luck on getting energia working as of yet. few days ago i make working build on my ArchLinux x86-64, but i cant give link becase i new user here and antispam engine think i spamer . chibiace 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
