Thanks! I used mspgcc & mspdebug before TI got involved, so I'm very comfortable with those tools. Actually more so than the CCS IDE. I'm an old guy and prefer to chant the incantations myself anyway. I installed Energia, CCS and a bunch of ARM tools a few months ago, but just got around to fooling with CCS. The "waiting" is when trying to copy the CCS code examples into a project. So I think perhaps the answer is just to ditch the IDE and copy the examples by hand. I've built many millions of lines of code from the command line including packages of over a million lines that no one knew how to compile when I took the job. I found it very hard to decipher what the state of the IDE was. "run" generated a "cannot find systemtap" dialog. I *think* i fixed that, but I didn't find CCS to be very reproducible except for not working. But I was at it until pretty late in the evening. I had just done the button 1 "hello word" when pressing button 2 caused the panic. After the reboot button 2 no longer caused a panic. It should *not* be possible to cause a kernel panic by sending anything over the USB bus, but it *is* Linux. I think I'll start by taking a look at why the TI USB lib won't work with gcc by trying to build the OutofBox demo by hand using mspgcc. Can you offer any more details about the problems you encountered? Which of the examples was it? I was the guy at work that everyone turned to when they couldn't get their code to compile or link on whatever new system they had gotten. I'd sort out the various compiler and linker flags, non-portable constructs they were using and the like. I did this for all the major workstations of the Unix wars and quite a few of the minor ones too. In addition, I follow the mspgcc list. It's possible that there are compiler constructs needed that mspgcc doesn't support, but if that's the case it will be well known and people will be working on it even if TI is not. Have Fun!
