Energia support for this is something we tried to push for, and would love to see in the future. It just wasn't going to happen for this release.

The gamepad code comes out to be around 10K, so it is cutting it close, but it should not be a problem for most modifications.

The root folder is the whole project, the three different options are selected based on build properties in CCS. The important files are the source files in the root, and the files in the USB_config and USB_app folders.

CCS is Eclipse based and needs a workspace set up before importing projects. To set up CCS to work on the project, clone the MSP430-Gamepad repo into your workspace folder. From there you should be able to import and run the code.

I will be posting more detailed documentation soon.
