Re: Commit: MSP430: Add support for low & high sections


Hi Friedrich,

   This patch supports an about-to-be-contributed patch to GCC for the
   MSP430 will add the ability for the compiler and linker to dynamically
   allocate data and code to either a low (<64K) memory region or a high
   memory region.  In order for this feature to work the MSP430 linker
   scripts in libgloss need to be updated to handle some new sections.

   In addition the linker scripts and startup code need to handle data
   that is stored in (high memory) flash RAM and which needs to be
   reinitialised when the processor is reset.

   The patch also tidies up the libgloss/msp430 directory, removing a few
   unneeded files.

Do you know, when those changes to newlib and the corresponding
patch(es) to GCC will become available for TI Code Composer Studio users?

Sorry no. :-( The patches are in the mainline FSF gcc, newlib, gas, ld and libgloss sources now, but I am not sure when TI will be updating their Code Composer Studio. (They do have a copy of the sources with these patches applied). I guess you will have to ask on the TI forum ?

Cheers
  Nick
