TI to IAR 2.x/3.x Assembler Migration
Texas Instruments made a suite of development tools for the MSP430,
including a comprehensive assembler and device simulator. The source of
the TI assembler and the source of the Kickstart assembler are not 100%
compatible; the instruction mnemonics are identical, while the assembler
directives are somewhat different. The following section documents the
differences between the TI assembler directives and the Kickstart 2.x/3.x
assembler directives.
