The MSP430 GCC toolchain can be installed in CCS
v6.0 or higher in two ways: either when CCS is installed or as an add-on to an existing CCS
installation.
- During the install process of CCS, select the
MSP430 GCC toolchain to be installed as an "add-on" (see Figure 2-1). MSP430 GCC is installed the first time you run CCS (see Figure 2-2).
- If CCS is already
installed without MSP430 GCC, MSP430 GCC can be added at a later time through the CCS Apps
Center (see Figure 2-3).
- Go to the menu View → CCS App
Center.
- Select MSP430 GCC
- Click the Install Software
button to start the installation.
- The GCC toolchain is installed to the following
directory in the CCS installation: ccsv#\tools\compiler\gcc_msp430_x.x.x (where xxx
denotes the version number).
