You should be able to set the linker to output intel hex. Look at the list files or map files to see how your program uses memory.

Look on

formatting link
for a package called srecord.

If you get a binary output file, then the size of the file should be the code space used.

I haven't used the MSP 430 tool chain, but both of these things are what I consider essential features; I don't think TI would be able to withstand the customer pressure if they thought they could get away without them.

  1. RTFM. I would be surprised if there isn't either a linker option to get hex directly, or a tool that converts the binary to hex.
  2. You want a "map" file. Most tool chains that I have used produce this as (your file name).map, but some need to be told that it is desired. Once again, RTFM.
