CrossWorks for MSP430 is a complete C development system for Texas
Instruments MSP430 microcontrollers that runs on Windows, Mac OS and
Linux.
C compiler
CrossWorks C is a faithful implementation of the ANSI and ISO standards for
the programming language C. We have added some extensions that enhance usability
in a microcontroller environment.
CrossWorks C Library
CrossWorks for MSP430 has its own royalty-free ANSI and ISO C compliant C
library that has been specifically designed for use within embedded systems.
CrossStudio IDE
CrossStudio for MSP430 is a streamlined integrated development environment
for building, testing, and deploying your applications. CrossStudio provides:
- Source Code Editor: A powerful source code editor with multi-level undo and redo, makes
editing your code a breeze.
- Project System: A complete project system organizes your source code and build rules.
- Build System: With a single key press you can build all your applications in a
solution, ready for them to be loaded onto a target microcontroller.
- Debugger and Flash Programming: You can download your programs directly into Flash and debug them
seamlessly from within the IDE using a wide range of target interfaces.
- Help system: The built-in help system provides context-sensitive help and a
complete reference to the CrossStudio IDE and tools.
- Core Simulator: As well as providing cross-compilation technology, CrossWorks provides
a PC-based fully functional simulation of the target microcontroller
core so you can debug parts of your application without waiting for
hardware.
CrossWorks Tools
CrossWorks for MSP430 supplies command line tools that enable you to build your application on the command
line and flash it to the target board using the same project file that the IDE uses.
