Expressions window debug error

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2433

Hello,

 I am on Windows 7 professional SP1 64 bit.

 The target device is an MSP430G2433 on a custom board.

I am using CCS ver 5.4.0.00091

I have a disconnect between the expressions view and memory view.  The code (based on the disassembly) is doing what I expect.

Here are relevant (I hope) code snippets.

// These are for the ADC readings.

#pragma location=0x200;

volatile unsigned int Result_sns2;

#pragma location=0x202;

volatile unsigned int Result_sns1;

 

void Read_Analog_Channel(void)

{

       Watchdog_Reset();

       ADC10CTL1 = INCH_3 + SHS_0 + ADC10DIV_0 + ADC10SSEL_0 + CONSEQ_1;    // Settings for the channels to be read - A3/A2, single sequence, ADC10SC, Straight Binary,

                                                                           // Non-Inverted, Clock Divide by 1, ADC10OSC

       ADC10CTL0 = SREF_0 + ADC10SHT_3 + MSC + ADC10ON;                     //VR+ = AVCC and VR- = AVSS, 64 ADC10CLKs,Multiple SampleConversion, ADC10 On/Enable

       ADC10DTC1 = 0x02;                                                    // 2 conversions

       ADC10AE0 |= BIT2 + BIT3;                                            // Enable analog inputs A1 and A2

       ADC10SA = 0x0200;                                                    // Data buffer start

       ADC10CTL0 |= ADC10SC + ENC;                                          //ADC10 Start Conversion, Enable Conversion

       while(ADC10CTL1 & ADC10BUSY);                                        //wait for conversion to complete

 

       ADC10CTL0 = 0x0000;

       ADC10AE0=0;

}

This is what I have on initialization when the debugger first connects and runs cinit:

As you can see, there is a slight difference in the values.  When I run the code, the memory shows the values I expect, but the expressions never change value.

For some reason the address in the expressions view is twice what address in the memory view.  This is not a coincident.  I changed the location in RAM for the variables and the expressions address is double the new address.

I have run a search, the variable is not used anywhere else.  I have tried modifiers of static, volatile and without ( just unsigned int).

 

Any insight would be helpful.
