Bug Description

The GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities targeted for the MSP430 architecture.

This package would be used to assemble, link and manipulate binary and object files that have been created for Texas Instruments MSP430 architecture. They may be used in conjunction with the compiler and various libraries to build programs for the MSP430 architecture.

This package is primarily for MSP430 developers and cross-compilers and is not needed by normal users or developers.

http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/

Notes: This package would be created by taking the binutils-2.19 upstream source from GNU and applying patches from the mspgcc project to create a Cross Compiling version of GNU binutils for the MSP430 architecture.

There are no source packages.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail <email address hidden>
with a body text like this:

reopen 329631
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
<email address hidden> would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <email address hidden>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <email address hidden>.

Hallo. It's nice, that there are deb repositories of msp430 toolchain.
Why not to continue effort and get this stuff in the official debian archive?

Thanks!

Hi.

I would love to see this in the official repositories as well. I would
share the debian/* directories of the MSP binutils and the tinyos
packages I have created. Integration with avr toolchain would be nice
as well. But as those were the first deb packages I created, I doubt that
they are mature enough. I guess we would need a more experienced packager
for this.

BR,
Markus

as of now, i'll be maintaining our current ubuntu packages and trying to
come up with a more mature packaging environment.

You all have come thru some steps already. I've always bored quickly,
reading debian packaging docs. Now something is ready.

Thus, getting more people aware of it, BTS, patches, announces in msp-gcc
list and things may go a little bit faster.

  Hello:

  I'm also potentially interested on these packages. In fact I dive into the
three links provided before and I what I've see is:

http://tevp.net/debian/
Out of date, packages from 2003

http://www.comnets.uni-bremen.de/~mab/debian/tinyos/
Latest updated. Unable to test them yet. Here are 4 packages, some of them
have been revised and are available there. Bootstaploader, gcc, libc and
binutils.

http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu/pool/main/m/
Not as up to date as previous, but yet should be enough. Here are 7 pacakges.
Boostraploader is not included, but gdb, jtag, python tools are present.

It think it would be nice to get a coordinated effort to get all of them
unified so both (ubuntu and debian) could profit of this.

Thanks

Hi,

How is this packaging coming along?

I am using the msp430 toolchain and regularly build packages for my own
use. Would you be interested in using those packages to fulfill this
need?

Thanks,

I think having all possible information available is good overall. So would
you be able to serve them somewhere? I could also give them a try, maybe the
are good enough for being official.

I have done some work on this and I have packages now at https://launchpad.net/~adamhorden/+archive/msp430 that have been built and alpha tested. These packages are built from either CVS sources or SVN sources via a custom mirror system. Work still needs to be done but I have working packages.
