TMP006EVM with MSP430 launchpad compiler and debug issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553, TMP006

Hi, Sir

I got a TMP006EVM and connected it to MSP430 launchpad

Then download the source code from http://www.ti.com/tmp006boosterpack 

(430boost_tmp006_1_00_00_04.zip)

add it to my project explorer of  CCS v5.3 (File > Import > Existing CCS Eclipse Projects)

and I click the debug button

It always has error as below

warning: creating output section ".data" without a SECTIONS specification

"../lnk_msp430g2553.cmd", line 65: error: program will not fit into available
>> Compilation failure
memory. placement with alignment fails for section ".text" size 0x4112 .
Available memory ranges:
FLASH size: 0x1fe0 unused: 0x1f40 max hole: 0x1f40
error: errors encountered during linking; "TMP006_Booster_Pack.out" not built
gmake: *** [TMP006_Booster_Pack.out] Error 1
gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

How can I produce the .out file?

Then I find some example code from TI resource explorer,

It can debug and upload to launchpad and work normally.

I think it maybe has some issue on the TMP006 booster pack source code

I'm the beginner of CCS, thanks

  • I think this is because some incompatiblity issue of different linker command file between the different CCS versions. Unless the used linker command file is not similar with the default one, you can just make a new CCS project and copy paste the source codes.
