Problem halting msp430 in CCE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F6137

Hi All,

 Has anyone experienced problems when halting or stepping through code in CCE and msp430?, I get the problem like 75% of the time. This is the error that I get in CCE:

MSP430: Trouble Halting Target CPU: Could not terminate EEM polling thread.

After which I need to stop debugging (takes time) and then disconnect the emulator and the chip, then reconnect, and re download the program. Which takes about 5 minutes, so I am loosing a lot of time just doing this. Anyone knows what the root cause of the problem might be?. The problem comes when hitting a breakpoint and then trying to step through the code, or when trying to just halt the processor.

regards.

    Hi,

    Can you give more details about the hardware that you are using?

    Hi AES,

     I am using the CC430F6137 and TI's FET. And my version of CCS is 4.0.1.01001

    Best Regards,

    You may want to try updating to CCS 4.0.2. Updating the MSP430.dll and HIL.dll to the latest versions might help resolve it.

    Other debugging checks/tips that might be helpful:

    - Does this error only occur when trying to debug a certain project or with all projects? Do you see the same error if debugging just one of the simple example codes?

    - Are there any breakpoints set in CCS, if so, how many? You can verify this by opening the Breakpoint view in the Debug Perspective. If breakpoint appears there, even if they are disabled, it might be best to delete them and see if it makes a difference. If the maximum number of breakpoints allowed for the device are already set, maybe it is not able to set another one to halt the device.
