TMI maintains an msp430 toolchain, including [[Ubuntu packages|aptrepo]], which
works with newer members of the msp430 family including the popular MSP430F2x1x
parts such as the MSP430F2618. This toolchain is properly patched for use in
-[[TinyOS]] development. At the time of this writing, the official TinyOS
-distribution uses an older msp430 toolchain that does not support these newer
-msp430 parts. The msp430 toolchain is composed of binutils, gnu compiler,
-and libc.

+As of the release of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, an up-to-date version of the
+MSP430 cross toolchain is available in the standard repositories. For this
+reason, TMI is no longer maintaining its own packages, which ultimately use the
+same upstream source as the new standard packages do. See the [[TMI
+Repository|aptrepo]] page for more information.
+
+As of 2012-06-15, the msp430-gdb package does not install due to a file
+conflict. This will likely be fixed soon.
