Description-en: GNU C compiler (cross compiler for MSP430)
This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C
for TI's MSP430 architecture. This package is primarily for MSP430
developers and cross-compilers and is not needed by normal users.
.
BEWARE: due to a bug in the memory layout reference of FRAM-based chips,
this package DOES NOT WORK with MSP430FR5xxx chips (eg. FraunchPad devkit).
DO NOT use gcc-msp430 on that chip series, as you will lose access to
JTAG and BSL, and permanently BRICK your chip!
