I am evaluating VisualGDB for use with MSP430 and STM32F4xx processors and have a question regarding the linker and memory map of the MSP430. Currently, I am porting an MSP430 application developed using TI CCSv5 to work with VisualGDB. We have a custom Bootloader (BSL) running that launches the application and the BSL executes from address 0x4400 (default). When the MSP430F5528 starts up, the BSL determines if a valid application is present and remaps the Interrupt Vector table from the application flash (0x6800) into RAM and calls the application Reset Vector (0x687E) that points to the main() function of the application sitting at address 0x6880. Is it possible to modify the linker memory map in VisualGDB or can I pass the compiler/linker the existing memory map from CCSv5? In CCSv5 it is a lnk_msp430f5528.cmd file.
Below is an excerpt from the linker file with the remapped addresses:

INCLUDE PERIPHERALS MEMORY MAP */ /****************************************************************************/ -l msp430f5528.cmdHi,
You should be able to modify the original mspgcc linker script. Normally mspgcc uses the msp430.x script located in <SysGCC>\msp430\msp430\lib\ldscripts that in turn includes msp430f5528\memory.x and msp430f5528\periph.x for device-specific data. You can make your own script based on msp430.x and specify it via the -T linker flag (i.e. add -Tc:/path/to/my-script.x to LDFLAGS).
You can also try reusing the script from Code Composer, however you may need to adjust it to compensate for the differences in interrupt handling (.vectors section vs .intXX sections) and to include peripheral address definitions from periph.x.
