One part I wasn't happy with, is that I had to manually set the correct startup.c file for the controller. While in CCS, SysConfig adds it automatically as a project reference.

.It took a bit of experimenting, but this CMake code gives a reference to that file in a variable:

# Ask SysConfig what files it references.  Then categorize them.  This occurs
# when CMake configures the project.
execute_process(
    COMMAND ${SYSCONFIG_CLI_CMD} --listReferencedFiles
    OUTPUT_VARIABLE SYSCONFIG_REF_FILES_STR
)
string(REPLACE "\n" ";" SYSCONFIG_REF_FILES ${SYSCONFIG_REF_FILES_STR})

set(SYSCONFIG_REF_CFILES        ${SYSCONFIG_REF_FILES})
list(FILTER SYSCONFIG_REF_CFILES        INCLUDE REGEX ".*\\.c$")
message(STATUS "SYSCONFIG_REF_CFILES: ${SYSCONFIG_REF_CFILES}")

I can then use that variable, insterad of my own fixed file path:

# C files
set(SOURCES
    ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/mspm0_cmake.cpp
    ${SYSCONFIG_GEN_CFILES}
    ${SYSCONFIG_REF_CFILES}
    # COMMENTED OUT ${SDK_ROOT}/source/ti/devices/msp/m0p/startup_system_files/gcc/startup_mspm0l130x_gcc.c
)

Debug action: switch a LED on and off, by directly writing to the GPIO CLR and SET registers.
