Problems running the User Experience Demo

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438, MSP430F5438A

Hi,

I've recently got hold of an MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board. I set everything up as per the included instructions (installing drivers, ccs, etc..)  However, I'm having trouble with the User Experience Demo.

I'm currently running CCS 5.1.0.08020 on an MSP430F5438A microcontroller under Windows XP.

Basically, this is what I did:

1. Run CCS and goto Project --> Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project

2. Selected the archive file option and browsed to the zip file that contains the user experience demo (slac227j.zip)

3. There are three projects to choose from, I selected MSP-EXP430F5438_User_Experience (the non code-limited one as I'm running a fully functional trial of CCS)

4. Clicked Finish

5. Went to Run --> Debug

And nothing happens. The output I get on the console is:

MSP430: Program loaded. Code Size - Text: 1686 bytes  Data: 1162 bytes
MSP430: AutoRun: Target not run as the symbol "main" is not defined

BTW, I tried the Blink LED code example and that works fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Husam Ibrahim

    Dear Husam,

    I have not found any error. I hv checked this in my CCS and it can build all the project successfully. error abount main is not defined, that I am not getting in CCS.

    do you get any other kind of file not found error for "MSP-EXP430F5438 HAL\hal_MSP-EXP430F5438.h" include file or not?

    tell me so that I can help you in more.

    Hi Milap,

    Thank you for your response. Depending on how I import the project (i.e. as an archive or have it search the directory), I do get that file not found error for "MSP-EXP430F5438 HAL\hal_MSP-EXP430F5438.h". Importing it as an archive builds successfully, but if I extract the slac227j.zip file and have it look in that directory, I get the error.

    Regards,

    Husam Ibrahim
