OpenChronos
Daniel Poelzleithner
as the firmware is getting better and better I think it's ok to announce
it here :-)
OpenChronos [1] is a fork of the original TI Firmware. It can be
compiled with msp430-gcc4 and is designed to be more modular then the
original one. You can select with "make config" which feature your clock
should have (not all options work yet :-)).
It already got some features the original does not have.
The reason i started it, is for my sleep phase alarm clock project
uberclock [2]. I described the project in [3].

you suggest me getting familiar with the workings of the stock
firmware first, or use yours. And if yours, what advantages would
that give me?

Depends on your needs. I have the need to be able to extend and work on
all parts of the firmware and compile it without buying an expensive
compiler, even when i will not be able to use some proprietary stuff
like blue robin.
I also have the need of having a firmware that is easy to customize and
with tons of features i can choose from ;-) until my flash is full of
course ;-)
in i changed quite annoying stuff of the original one. like the reboot
on pressing rfbsl by accident for example...
btw: the blue robin devs responded that they would in principle port
their lib to gcc-msp430 but they have no customer who uses it and no
free capacity at the moment…
