where i can download IAS KickStart for programming MSP430 EasyWeb3 with MSP-JTAG

i found only http://focus.ti.com/lit/sw/slac050j/slac050j.zip at the link you give
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders ... escription

but i am now sure since i do not found the MSP430F149,controler used in this board

and what about difference between MSPGCC and IAR KICKStart ?
for a beginner like me, MSPGCC is so much difficult than IAR?

I found in one forum that source code for uIP is available for both IDEs, right?

Try this

http://focus.ti.com/docs/tool/list.jhtm ... olTypeId=3

OR

Go to www.ti.com, under microcontrollers at the left panel.->Getting Started->Free Software Downloads underneath the page.

There are several options. IAR kickstart and Code composer.

IAR kickstart description: 4K C-Compiler/Assembler/Debugger/Simulator. Use this file only to install the most current Embedded Workbench Version 3 Kickstart system.

Code composer: Fully Integrated MSP430 Development Environment with up to 8K Bytes Code Space.

Code Composer Essentials (CCEssentials) is a powerful and easy-to-use integrated programming and debugging environment for the industry-leading MSP430 ultra-low power microcontrollers.

The full version of code composer seems to be a lot more cheaper than the full version of IAR, i think.

Code composer based on Eclipse IDE while IAR has its own IDE and debugger interface

Thanks ,

I am now testing IAR Kick Start from your link..

I only found MSP-FETxxxxxx tools for Debugging.

How can I debug or Program using MSP-JTAG (cost 14.95 $ ) from Sparkfun.com

and can i use Andreas Dannenberg 's Tcpip stack with this IAE and MSP-JTAG on my board MSP430-EasyWeb3 ?
