According to resources like https://gist.github.com/trtg/4451949 and https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6161446.html I should be able to use crosdev to compile a toolchain targeting MSP430 devices with a command like: crossdev -s4 -t msp430 # which crossdev seems to interpret as msp430-elf ... or perhaps ... crossdev -S -t msp430-unknown-linux-gnu Neither work or I wouldn't be here. Digging further it seems a developer called radhermit started an overlay for MSP430 support years ago back in 2010 but has since deleted it. ("Recently I put together an overlay containing the latest MSP430 toolchain support. You can find the overlay and instructions here. Let me know if you have any problems or requests for more package versions.") Is MSP430 a lost cause on Gentoo? Why is the Embedded manual so out of date / useless in telling us these things?
Also there was a later attempt circa 2007 to provide ebuilds over here http://pi4.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pi4.data/content/projects/msp430/ .. with documentation in German.
Apparently there are two current compiler codebases targeting MSP430 and MSP432 devices respectively maintained at http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource
1. This is a bug tracker, not a support forum. 2. If you have complaints about documentation at wiki.gentoo.org, remember that it's a wiki and you can help improve it.
How do I bring a bug up with the embedded team then?
PS. If you look at Gentoo wiki I am one of the only people adding content recently.
