+<h4 class="subsection">3.19.32 MSP430 Options</h4>
+<a name="index-MSP430-Options"></a>
+
+<p>These options are defined for the MSP430:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dd>
+<a name="index-masm_002dhex"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-masm-hex</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Force assembly output to always use hex constants. Normally such
+constants are signed decimals, but this option is available for
+testsuite and/or aesthetic purposes.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mmcu_003d"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mmcu=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Select the MCU to target. This is used to create a C preprocessor
+symbol based upon the MCU name, converted to upper case and pre- and
+post-fixed with &lsquo;<samp>__</samp>&rsquo;. This in turn is used by the
+<samp>msp430.h</samp> header file to select an MCU-specific supplementary
+header file.
+</p>
+<p>The option also sets the ISA to use. If the MCU name is one that is
+known to only support the 430 ISA then that is selected, otherwise the
+430X ISA is selected. A generic MCU name of &lsquo;<samp>msp430</samp>&rsquo; can also be
+used to select the 430 ISA. Similarly the generic &lsquo;<samp>msp430x</samp>&rsquo; MCU
+name selects the 430X ISA.
+</p>
+<p>In addition an MCU-specific linker script is added to the linker
+command line. The script&rsquo;s name is the name of the MCU with
+<samp>.ld</samp> appended. Thus specifying <samp>-mmcu=xxx</samp> on the <code>gcc</code>
+command line defines the C preprocessor symbol <code>__XXX__</code> and
+cause the linker to search for a script called <samp>xxx.ld</samp>.
+</p>
+<p>The ISA and hardware multiply supported for the different MCUs is hard-coded
+into GCC. However, an external &lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo; file can be used to
+extend device support beyond those that have been hard-coded.
+</p>
+<p>GCC searches for the &lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo; file using the following methods in the
+given precedence order, where the first method takes precendence over the
+second which takes precedence over the third.
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt>Include path specified with <code>-I</code> and <code>-L</code></dt>
+<dd><p>&lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo; will be searched for in each of the directories specified by
+include paths and linker library search paths.
+</p></dd>
+<dt>Path specified by the environment variable &lsquo;<samp>MSP430_GCC_INCLUDE_DIR</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
+<dd><p>Define the value of the global environment variable
+&lsquo;<samp>MSP430_GCC_INCLUDE_DIR</samp>&rsquo;
+to the full path to the directory containing devices.csv, and GCC will search
+this directory for devices.csv. If devices.csv is found, this directory will
+also be registered as an include path, and linker library path. Header files
+and linker scripts in this directory can therefore be used without manually
+specifying <code>-I</code> and <code>-L</code> on the command line.
+</p></dd>
+<dt>The &lsquo;<samp>msp430-elf{,bare}/include/devices</samp>&rsquo; directory</dt>
+<dd><p>Finally, GCC will examine &lsquo;<samp>msp430-elf{,bare}/include/devices</samp>&rsquo; from the
+toolchain root directory. This directory does not exist in a default
+installation, but if the user has created it and copied &lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo;
+there, then the MCU data will be read. As above, this directory will
+also be registered as an include path, and linker library path.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>If none of the above search methods find &lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo;, then the
+hard-coded MCU data is used.
+</p>
+
+<a name="index-mwarn_002dmcu"></a>
+<a name="index-mno_002dwarn_002dmcu"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mwarn-mcu</code></dt>
+<dt><code>-mno-warn-mcu</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This option enables or disables warnings about conflicts between the
+MCU name specified by the <samp>-mmcu</samp> option and the ISA set by the
+<samp>-mcpu</samp> option and/or the hardware multiply support set by the
+<samp>-mhwmult</samp> option. It also toggles warnings about unrecognized
+MCU names. This option is on by default.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mcpu_003d-4"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mcpu=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Specifies the ISA to use. Accepted values are &lsquo;<samp>msp430</samp>&rsquo;,
+&lsquo;<samp>msp430x</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>msp430xv2</samp>&rsquo;. This option is deprecated. The
+<samp>-mmcu=</samp> option should be used to select the ISA.
+</p>
+<a name="index-msim-5"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-msim</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Link to the simulator runtime libraries and linker script. Overrides
+any scripts that would be selected by the <samp>-mmcu=</samp> option.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mlarge"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mlarge</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Use large-model addressing (20-bit pointers, 20-bit <code>size_t</code>).
+</p>
+<a name="index-msmall"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-msmall</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Use small-model addressing (16-bit pointers, 16-bit <code>size_t</code>).
+</p>
+<a name="index-mrelax-3"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mrelax</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This option is passed to the assembler and linker, and allows the
+linker to perform certain optimizations that cannot be done until
+the final link.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mhwmult_003d"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>mhwmult=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Describes the type of hardware multiply supported by the target.
+Accepted values are &lsquo;<samp>none</samp>&rsquo; for no hardware multiply, &lsquo;<samp>16bit</samp>&rsquo;
+for the original 16-bit-only multiply supported by early MCUs.
+&lsquo;<samp>32bit</samp>&rsquo; for the 16/32-bit multiply supported by later MCUs and
+&lsquo;<samp>f5series</samp>&rsquo; for the 16/32-bit multiply supported by F5-series MCUs.
+A value of &lsquo;<samp>auto</samp>&rsquo; can also be given. This tells GCC to deduce
+the hardware multiply support based upon the MCU name provided by the
+<samp>-mmcu</samp> option. If no <samp>-mmcu</samp> option is specified or if
+the MCU name is not recognized then no hardware multiply support is
+assumed. <code>auto</code> is the default setting.
+</p>
+<p>Hardware multiplies are normally performed by calling a library
+routine. This saves space in the generated code. When compiling at
+<samp>-O3</samp> or higher however the hardware multiplier is invoked
+inline. This makes for bigger, but faster code.
+</p>
+<p>The hardware multiply routines disable interrupts whilst running and
+restore the previous interrupt state when they finish. This makes
+them safe to use inside interrupt handlers as well as in normal code.
+</p>
+<a name="index-minrt"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-minrt</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Enable the use of a minimum runtime environment - no static
+initializers or constructors. This is intended for memory-constrained
+devices. The compiler includes special symbols in some objects
+that tell the linker and runtime which code fragments are required.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mtiny_002dprintf"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mtiny-printf</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Enable reduced code size <code>printf</code> and <code>puts</code> library functions.
+The &lsquo;<samp>tiny</samp>&rsquo; implementations of these functions are not reentrant, so
+must be used with caution in multi-threaded applications.
+</p>
+<p>Support for streams has been removed and the string to be printed will
+always be sent to stdout via the <code>write</code> syscall. The string is not
+buffered before it is sent to write.
+</p>
+<p>This option requires Newlib Nano IO, so GCC must be configured with
+&lsquo;<samp>--enable-newlib-nano-formatted-io</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mmax_002dinline_002dshift_003d"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mmax-inline-shift=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This option takes an integer between 0 and 64 inclusive, and sets
+the maximum number of inline shift instructions which should be emitted to
+perform a shift operation by a constant amount. When this value needs to be
+exceeded, an mspabi helper function is used instead. The default value is 4.
+</p>
+<p>This only affects cases where a shift by multiple positions cannot be
+completed with a single instruction (e.g. all shifts &gt;1 on the 430 ISA).
+</p>
+<p>Shifts of a 32-bit value are at least twice as costly, so the value passed for
+this option is divided by 2 and the resulting value used instead.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mcode_002dregion"></a>
+<a name="index-mdata_002dregion"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mcode-region=</code></dt>
+<dt><code>-mdata-region=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>These options tell the compiler where to place functions and data that
+do not have one of the <code>lower</code>, <code>upper</code>, <code>either</code> or
+<code>section</code> attributes. Possible values are <code>lower</code>,
+<code>upper</code>, <code>either</code> or <code>any</code>. The first three behave
+like the corresponding attribute. The fourth possible value -
+<code>any</code> - is the default. It leaves placement entirely up to the
+linker script and how it assigns the standard sections
+(<code>.text</code>, <code>.data</code>, etc) to the memory regions.
+</p>
+<a name="index-msilicon_002derrata"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-msilicon-errata=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This option passes on a request to assembler to enable the fixes for
+the named silicon errata.
+</p>
+<a name="index-msilicon_002derrata_002dwarn"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-msilicon-errata-warn=</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This option passes on a request to the assembler to enable warning
+messages when a silicon errata might need to be applied.
+</p>
+<a name="index-mwarn_002ddevices_002dcsv"></a>
+<a name="index-mno_002dwarn_002ddevices_002dcsv"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>-mwarn-devices-csv</code></dt>
+<dt><code>-mno-warn-devices-csv</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Warn if &lsquo;<samp>devices.csv</samp>&rsquo; is not found or there are problem parsing it
+(default: on).
