    Greetings,

    There are many TI MSP430 devices listed, except the one I would like: MSP430FR6989

    Is there a recommended “close enough equivalent” or some other way to edit the config files to support this device?

    thanks

    Hi,

    Please try downloading the repackaged TI toolchain from http://gnutoolchains.com/msp430/

    It contains support for many new devices including MSP430FR6989.

    thanks a lot for prompt reply!

    Indeed the x6989 is in that toolchain and it compiles successfully in Visual Studio 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 with VisualGDB 5.2

    However, I am unable to single step the “blink” example:

    1>—— Build started: Project: GDB-8, Configuration: Debug VisualGDB ——
    1>  LEDBlink.cpp
    1>  Linking ../VisualGDB/Debug/GDB-8…
    1>  ——————- Memory utilization report ——————-
    1>  Used FLASH: 578 bytes out of 46KB (1%)
    1>  Used RAM: 24 bytes out of 2048 bytes (1%)
    ========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

    Your VisualGDB trial expires in 30 days!
    C:\SysGCC\msp430-elf\bin\msp430-elf-gdb.exe –interpreter mi C:\workspace\GDB-8\VisualGDB\Debug\GDB-8
    Cannot resolve the address of _estack. Skipping stack pointer validity check.

    Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

    Really my goal is to program the ESP8266/ESP32 however I don’t currently have any of the mainstream JTAG tools (I’ve tried my Altera USB Blaster and Bus Pirate without success using OpenOCD)…. so I thought this MSP430 might be easier to get acquainted with the VisualGDB software until I can get a Segger J-Link. (that’s a good JTAG interface for the ESP family, right?)

    Thanks a lot 🙂

    actually, please disregard the question on “Cannot resolve the address of _estack” as apparently is can be ignored! I have it working with my MSP430!

    I’ll start a new topic regarding Bus Pirate and USB Blaster
