This manual aims to describe the setup and basic operations of the MSP430 GCC toolchain to know how to use the open-source GCC compiler for microcontrollers to build an example for an MSP430 target device using the command terminal of Linux. It will also be shown how to debug software with the GDB Agent and the GNU Debugger tools so that the program that was built can be uploaded to the target device successfully.
