MSP430F147: The issue is using an updated compiler when programming old source code to our MSP430F147. The original hex file works with the FET programming application, but loading the file using Code Composer Studio doesn't work.

Part Number: MSP430F147

Tool/software:

The issue is using an updated compiler when programming old source code to our MSP430F147. The original hex file works with the FET programming application, but loading the file using Code Composer Studio doesn't work. It loads perfectly to the micro, but the memory seems affected because the default settings aren't what they're supposed to be. I can't tell which memory locations are shifted between the original since I cannot run the original compiler and use the debugger. What are the significant differences between compiler TI v4.2.7 and TI v3.2.2.1.8?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

  • Hi,

    These versions are quite old, I do not think we can find the details about the difference between those two versions. 

    One thing to check is that you can compare the original hex file to the new one. It could give us some clue what causes the issue. 

    And also check the lnk_msp430f147.cmd file in your project. Check if the current one matches the old one. 

    Best regards,
