[sdiy] MSP430?

[James Patchell]

This looks like a real nice processor.  And even better, you can get a 
fairly good C compiler at a rather reasonable price from Image Craft.

Also, you can get a Real Time Operating system called Salvo from Pumkin 
that runs on the MSP430 (as well as the AVR and the PIC).

Salvo is a cooperative RTOS (non-preemptive).  This means you don't need 
any stack resources to run.  However, this causes other 
limitations.  Still, for a small microcontroller with limited ram, it seems 
to be a pretty nice RTOS.
