Research direction

Start with the MSP430 plugin in arch/msp430 and compare its current instruction support with the linked MSP430X extended-instruction list. Implement and lift the required instructions and validate them against suitable MSP430X test binaries, if available.

Description

Arch: MSP430 Component: Architecture Effort: Medium Impact: Medium

A customer asked if we support MSP430X today. We do not. These are the extended instructions we would need to implement and lift, amongst possibly other changes.

If anyone is interested in doing this work themselves, PRs are welcome. The plugin itself is here.

If anyone has good test binaries, those would also be welcome. Please let me know if you do!
