Texas Instruments has awesome documentation. Every single MSP430 microcontroller comes with:

- a family guide describing all features of microcontroller family, usually >500 pages long

- concrete microcontroller guide describing specifics of a single microcontroller, usually >50 pages long

- errata guide describing all(?) known silicon bugs with their workarounds

Also, Clang has a backend for MSP430 by default: `clang -print-targets`



Sure, but that's irrelevant. The MSP430 is not (in) an Eth PHY.

As the Author demonstrated, the network IC world is very unaproachable.
