Hello,
I am working with an MSP-EXP430F5438 developer board and Code Composer, to communicate with BlueGiga BLE112 Bluetooth Low Energy Device over UART. BlueGiga provides a C Library called BGLibrary to facilitate communicating with the BLE112. This API requires packing data structures with the __attribute__((packed)) macro, which requires adding a --gcc flag to the compile options. After adding the --gcc compile flag, I can no longer debug. It gives this error message: "Run Control not available."
Why is this? How do I work around this? Is there another way to pack the data structures that will work better? I tried to use the API without the packed macro, but I had alignment issues when unpacking messages.
