Vagrant Environment for Compiling and Simulating MSPFRXX Code

This repo contains a Vagrant virtual machine environment to compile C code for MSP430 target. The virtual machine comes with:

Installation steps

Clone this repository:

  git clone https://github.com/sinanyil81/mspsim-vagrant.git

In the virtual machine, change directory: $cd /vagrant. This directory (in the virtual machine) is shared between your host machine and the virtual machine. It includes the cloned repository. Any change you do in your host machine is accesible in the virtual machine, or vice versa.
Compile SIREN by performing the following steps:
```
  $ cd mspsim
  $ make
  $ make jar
```

Place your application code (C code) that is targeted for the MSP430FR6989 platform in the virtual machine and compile it using msp430-elf-gcc to output the firmware file, e.g., main.out.
Alternatively, on your host machine, you may want to install Code Composer Studio (CCS) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) CCSTUDIO that helps you to compile your C application using TI GCC for MSP430. You can also install TI GCC for MSP430s on your host to compile your C application. After compilation, place the firmware file, e.g., main.out, into mspsim directory.
There are also sample C programs targeting MSP430FR6989 in mspsim/firmware/ directory. You can compile these applications in the virtual machine, as an example:
```
  $ cd firmware/sense_and_send
  $ cd static
  $ make
```

that outputs main.out

In order to simulate your application code, e.g., firmware/sense_and_send/main.out:

  $ cd /vagrant/mspsim
  $ make run FIRMWAREFILE=firmware/sense_and_send/main.out

You can write stop to stop simulation.
You can write profile to see the profiling information of the functions, i.e., how many cycles it took to execute the corresponding functions in the applicaion.
Check commands to see which commands are available for the simulator.
Modify mspsim/scripts/mayfly.sc file to configure the simulator.
