Integrated development environment and optimizing C/C++ compiler for MSP430

IAR Embedded Workbench supports the CC430, 1xx, G2xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, and 6xx families of MSP430 microcontrollers.

Key components:

• Integrated development environment with project management tools and editor
• Highly optimizing C and C++ compiler for MSP430
• Configuration files for all MSP430 devices
• FET debugger support
• Run-time libraries
• Relocating MSP430 assembler
• Linker and librarian tools
• C-SPY debugger with MSP430 simulator and support for RTOS-aware debugging on hardware
• Example projects for MSP430 and code templates
• User and reference guides in PDF format
• Context-sensitive online help

Chip-specific support:

• Position-independent code
• Support for the hardware multiplier peripheral module
• Intrinsic functions support power-down modes
• Support for TI´s msp430-txt output format

Hardware debugging support:

• C-SPY FET debugger support for all TI’s FET modules
• Automatic flash download
• Support for the Enhanced Emulation Module gives trace and sequencing functionality
• Connection via parallel or USB port
• TI LPT-IF, USB FET interface
• Olimex LPT and USB
• Elprotronic USB-FPA
• Support for Spy-Bi-Wire (2-Wire) and 4-wire JTAG protocols

RTOS support:

Built-in plugins for

• OSEK Run Time Interface (ORTI)
• Segger embOS
• Micrium µC/OS-II
• CMX
• OpenRTOS
• SafeRTOS

Each RTOS plugin installs a number of new windows in C-SPY, most importantly the task or thread list windows where task-specific breakpoints can be specified and task-specific steps executed. Different inspector windows display the contents of the internal data structures of the RTOS such as timers, queues, semaphores, resources and mailboxes.
