777funk 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Curious how it works out? I just switched from XP to Ubuntu a couple weeks ago. I still have the dual boot for things that can cause grief running in Linux but I'm curious if this is one of those that will work fine or be a problem. Arduino has a Native Linux install. That was actually pretty easy. Still haven't used it yet but it's there when I need it. Wondering about CCS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gordon 229 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 No debugging, though (last I checked). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giuss 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I've installed ccs5 under Linux without problems but it doesn't communicate with launchpad, I have to check it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanAndDusty 62 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ive installed CCS5 under linux and compile them from in there.. To get the code to the board I use MSPDEBUG from the command line. If I need to debug then I fire up a VM with XP on it and debug from there. The C2000 Launchpad works a dream under linux with full debugging support so as support for the 430 launchpad under linux is planned Im looking forwards to that. I have no idea on time-scales though so anyone any better ideas? Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zborgerd 62 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I also use Linux with GCC, MSPDebug, and CCS V5.1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Pardon me for asking, but what advantages are there from using Linux over Windows? Would there be substantial differences between Linux and Cygwin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was actually pretty easy. Still haven't used it yet but it's there when I need it. Wondering about CCS? CCS for GNU/Linux does support MSP430 to my knowledge. Last time I installed it, it unfortunately didn't. You could give msp-gcc a go. You can get it from the Ubuntu Software Center (though there are a few small issues) and works well for me. Alternatively you can always get the newest version from source. Pardon me for asking, but what advantages are there from using Linux over Windows?Would there be substantial differences between Linux and Cygwin? I find it a better environment for programming. It has by default some pretty good command line tools for dealing with text and documents - grep, sed,find. I am also a fan of Git. Though a lot of this I am sure is available with an IDE such as Eclipse I tend not to be a huge fan of them. I have never properly used Cygwin for programing (I tend to use Xubuntu more than Windows anyways so haven't taken the time to test it out) but from what I hear it probably covers all of the above assuming msp-gcc can work through it.

Nytblade 24 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 According to the TI MSP430 blog, it is now supported as of August: http://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/msp430blog/a ... o-ide.aspx Unless you have a reason to use the IDE I would just go with MSPGCC and MSPDebug though on Linux. The main advantage I find with CCS is that its graphical debugger is easier to use... also you do not have to write your own Makefile if you use CCS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rickta59 589 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've installed the lastest version few days ago and it doesn't connect to usb fet, maybe I have a driver problem The launchpad isn't supported. However, the MSP-FET430UIF device is supported. They have said that msp430 launchpad support is on the to do list but there is no ETA. See my questions and their answers regarding this on e2e.ti.com: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/171173/688729.aspx#688729 -rick bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giuss 0 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thank you, I hope to see launchpad support in next version Inviato dal mio Liquid MT con Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keepcool 1 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 One workaround for the old packages in ubuntu is to install the .deb directly from the Debian site, they where at the most recent msp-gcc version, and its just a simply click in the link and choose open with Package Manager.
