Need help porting AVR code to MSP430

Post by Saints »

Hi,
I am starting a project that may require the use of an MSP430 core (due to the release of the CC430). I need to make use of an LCD screen, and I am familiar with interfacing with a serial port so the LCD that I chose was from New Haven display with the ST7565 drivers (128x64 pixels). I am using the MSP430f2618 since I had a friend with some spares and an evaluation board. I can handle the electronics end but I am having a tough time converting this amazing example code (http://github.com/adafruit/ST7565-LCD/tree/master/c) produced by adafruit (thank you it is amazing work) to work with my MSP 430.
If anyone can help me with some tips such as how to get <avr/pgmspace.h> to either work with the MSP430 using the CCSv4 (Code Composer Studio version 4) or how to convert everything that this does in the program to something a bit more generic. If you want to be truly amazing and convert it for me can you please comment on what you changed so I can understand the process (either give a man a fish or teach him how to actually do c well).

Thanks for any feedback,
Saints

pgmspace is specific to the avr, i don't believe you'll need such a thing with the msp430, so you can just remove all the calls for it, and do it directly instead.
