EXP430F5438 user experience software issue

Raged
Intellectual 775 points

I have downloaded and imported the MSP-EXP430F5438_User_Experience project to CCS V5.4.

It builds and debugs without any error until I run it. Then i get the following error:

" Can't find a source file at "/tmp/TI_MKLIB2zNG5r/SRC/memcpy.c"
Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location. "

I have searched for "memcpy.c" but have not been able to find it. Could you please, point me in the right direction so that

I can run the evaluation software?

Thanks

    This is me again. So the issue I was having has to do with not properly connecting the "JP2" jumper between "SYS" and "PWR" pins. Hope this helps anyone in the future that may run in a similar problem.

    The error is a bit misleading.

    memcpy.c is part of the runtime library and linked for copying the initial values of your global variables from flash to ram before the program starts. You don't have the source code for this library function, hence th error message.

    The real question is why the debugger stops in this function.

    Probably, there is a problem with the large amount of global variables.

    I guess, the software was originally compiled with CCS in old COFF ABI mode, which used a different initialization code. And the new ELF ABI causes problems.

    But since I don't use CCS, I can't tell how to fix it (other than trying the legacy COFF mode)
