Code restarts even after exiting debug mode in ccs 5.5

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C123BE6PM

Hi all,

I have a TM4C123BE6PM MCU sitting on my custom board. After a lot of difficulties I am able to debug it using Tiva launch pad. After I write code, compile it without errors, then I press debug button. Then the program gets loaded into MCU and I am able to debug it, step through each line of code. When I press start, it starts and when I press pause it stops.

Now the problem is when I press stop button and exit debug perspective and go to edit perspective the program starts on its own . Even when I disconnect launch pad, still programs runs on MCU. I would like that program to only run when I am in debug perspective and when I command it to run and should not run when I exit debug perspective and go to edit perspective. Is there any debug configuration I need to change or any solutions please.

Regards,

Ishan

I think that is normal.

Hi,

Thank you for responding .

Is there anything I can do so that code on MCU does not run when I exit debug perspective.

Also just to let you know that I was using dsPIC from microchip and ICD 3 debugger to debug it till now and in it, I did not face this problem. When I exit debug mode, the code would not run. So there must be something that can be done to achieve same thing in Tiva as well.

Hi,

Increasing the stack size did not help. I tried it

Can you please let me know how to program SRAM instead of flash.

Let the record show that thread referenced below (by this same poster) well meets his "any solution" requirement: (as this poster earlier agreed...)
