[sudo-discuss] TI Launchpad IDE

Hey, Just getting set up with a TI MSP430 microcontroller programming tool. Looks like I need some sort of "Code Composer Studio" IDE. They want me to give them a bunch of information etc to DL. Does anyone know where I can get a libre tool to work with the microcontroller, and/or can I do it with my text editor instead? -Jehan
