I hate registering to pages to get information or downloads. I really hate it. This is one of the two reasons Arduino has been so popular - it's open source and you can do whatever you want with it.
So I have a Texas Instrument FRAM development board MSP-EXP430FR5739 that I can buy here, in Estonia with no questions asked. I want to program it - I have two choices: commercial Windows only IAR or cross platform Eclipse plugin Code Composer Studio. Off course I try to download Code Composer Studio. But no, I can't. I have to fill out some stupid U.S. Government export approval. WTF. I can get the board and all your high tech chips with no problems but downloading plugin to my Eclipse requires a export document. You have to be crazy. So, if anyone wants it. I host a mirror now:
Edit: Windows installer is now offline one so it would work.
I totally agree with you. Thanks for the link!
These constraints aren't even going to stop anyone that would misuse the system. They could just lie, piece of cake.
I also found your interesting site because of this mirror link. I will be checking out your projects too!
I really liked ur work..awesome thanx for the link man.keep doing this good work in future:-)
Thanks. I'm hate US Export bureaucracy too. I love true open source - fully free.
I've bought lanchpad EK-LM4F120XL for 5$ and set up free toolchan, TI libs (form git://github.com/brmlab/SW-EK-LM4F120XL.git) ocd-git (with patch http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/922/)

I use the tutorial from http://scompoprojects.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/debugging-a-program-on-the-stellaris-launchpad-board/
You are so right!!
Thanks for your effort 🙂
I will follow your page from now on.
Thanks for posting this. When I tried to go through the official channel for this, I got a bloody 404 error upon submitting the form, effectively locking me (and anybody else) out. If they wanted to do this export control bull****, they should have done it with the hardware itself, and included the software with the hardware.
It is 32bit version, right? Does it work on 64-win?
Yes, it is 32bit version. And I have the impression that most 32bit programs work under 64bit systems, but you never know.
Your mirror offers download speed 10x higher than ti's server. Thank you 🙂
I am agreed too....
Not even these stupid registration forms...their web installers version of softwares sucks too...
I had number of times frequent Internet Disconnections and finally just bcoz u...I am able to download the full package in one shot..
thanks mate
You are my Hero!
hi thanks for ccs v5
i question how to register to activate ccs v5?
Thanks you man. I followed all Ti's registration process finally I got the download email, I clicked but nothing occur. Tried many times.. and nothing... I got mad... I bought many 10$ dollars for my student and I couldn`t get the compiler and any support. Bad.. to bad... But thanks for you time and effort. Haven't installed it yet.. but I hope it will fine.
Thanx man
Great link. Thanks a lot. By the way, can you post mirror for CCS V5.4 or latest? I am need of it for developing codes for MSP430F5529
I searched everywhere. And You are my hero!
I waited several days for an approval.
Thx friend. I hate registering to pages to get downloads too...
Do you happen to have the md5 for the windows version? I'm getting an error and need to know if i need to redownload
Hi and thanks. I cannot access to the TI website. They deprive me and my country people to access to their site. Can you please give me a mirror for CCs v6.
Thanks and regards.
