How to setup udev for MSP430 LaunchPad
- Add the proper udev rule to let the user have access to the device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0451", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f432", MODE="0664", GROUP="dialout"
- Restart udev
udevadm control --reload
How to setup MSP430 GCC toolchain from distro
- Install msp430 tools and dependencies
Fedora
yum -y install msp430-gcc msp430-binutils msp430-libc mspdebug msp430mcu libmpc-devel glibc-devel.i686
Ubuntu
apt-get -y install gcc-msp430 binutils-msp430 msp430-libc gdb-msp430 msp430mcu libmpc-dev libc6-dev-i386
- Setup the MSP430 Plugin
How to setup MSP430 GCC toolchain non-distro
On Fedora 21 and newer versions the toolchain has missed some symbols, so will be better to not use the toolchain that comes with the distro. In order to deal with this, one can use the toolchain provided by xpg.dk
- Get the toolchain from http://xpg.dk/files/File/msp430/msp430-toolchain-linux-amd64-3.0.tar.bz2
- Decompress, rename and put it on /opt/ti/msp430-toolchain
- Setup the MSP430 Plugin
How to setup MSP430 plugin for Eclipse
- Install msp430 tools and dependencies
Fedora
yum -y install eclipse eclipse-cdt
Ubuntu
apt-get -y install eclipse eclipse-cdt
- Update eclipse, "Help > Check Updates"
- Add the MSP430 plug-in on "Help > Install New software"
- On the "Available Software" screen, click on 'Add' button and type in the new dialog "MSP430 Plugin" in name field and http://eclipse.xpg.dk in Location
- Back to "Available Software" screen, enable the check box for "msp430" and then hit 'Next' at the bottom of the screen
- On the "Install Details" screen click 'Finish' and click 'Ok' if the "Security Warning" prompts you to confirm the installation
- Click on 'Yes' when Eclipse finish up the installation and ask you to restart Eclipse itself.
- Click on "MSP430 > Tool Manager" at the top menu

- Set a name on 'Project name'
- Select "MSP430 Cross Target Application > Empty Project" and click 'Finish'
- Right clik on Project and select 'Properties' and then select 'MSP430' on the left menu
- On Target MCU select your microcontroller
- On MSPDebug select the driver 'rf2500'
- On Connection select 'USB', the serial number of the MSP430 LaunchPad should be listed in the dropbox, if not udev has not been set properly
How to build and upload a project on Eclipse
- Once the project is done, press '<CTRL>+B' to upload the code
- Once the project is build clean, upload the binary to the MSP430 LaunchPad with "MSP430 > Upload to target"
