Skip timer interrupt when I am debugging

To disable Interrupts go to: Project properties\Debug\Program/Memory Load Options and select/deselect the desired ‘Disable interrupts’ options.

but that disable all interrupts. I just wanna to skip timer interrupt.

yes you can

how?

When I set (Disable interrupts -> When source stepping), the timer interrupt was still called.

Hey,

I dont realy now, whats your code is and the purpose of your code. If you just want to debug without being interrupted by Timer Interrupt. Just disable Timer inerrupt. For example  this function below set the timer to interrupt for every 4 milli seconds.

void monitor_TA1( void)
{
	/***************Clear Timer Flags before Configuring them******************************/
	stop_TA1();

	I2CWATCH_4_Accel = 0;

	// PWM Period = VOLUME_TOP/SMCLK
	TA1CCR0 = FOUR_MILLISECOND;

	// PWM Period = 4ms
	TA1CCR1 = FOUR_MILLISECOND;

	//set up interrupts for counting the #ticks#
	TA1CCTL1 = CCIE;

	// SMCLK, no divider, counting up mode
	TA1CTL = TASSEL_2 + MC_1;
}

if you do not want to get disturbed by interrupts of Timer change this to 

	//set up interrupts for counting the #ticks#
	TA1CCTL1 = CCIE;

This

	//Stop  interrupts for counting the #ticks#
	TA1CCTL1 &= ~CCIE;

Alternatively, you can also  stop timer 

	// SMCLK, no divider, stop
	TA1CTL = TASSEL_2 + MC_0;

While debugging, disable Timer interrupt (TxIE) temporally under Registers.

Hi guys,

thanks for helps. I think I dont say my intent clearly. I dont want to disable timer interrupt. What I want is to not showing when I am debugging my programm. The timer interrupt is still enable, but not showing when step to step debugging.

:) till this point of time, this is one of impossible things. If there is a way to achieve this, I will be very happy.  These many days I am just working around this type of issue.

I am waiting with you to see if any one comes up with a solution (that exactly you are looking for.).

Cheers. :)

You can’t have them all!

Normally; if you are stepping trough the program you don’t want to get any interrupt, you only wants to see what happens during these, observed, steps. In the Register view you can see if an interrupt is hit.

The common way to debug is to disable debug interrupts, put a breakpoint into the ISR, or elsewhere in your program, on the lines you want to observe, and RUN the program till the next point of interest.

I have been working the same way.  But I taught, if at all there was an option in CCS to monitor/track desired interrupts and skip undesired ones would be a great tool. Hope at some time soon we might get such a tool.
:)

Well by the time you learn more about programming processors and learning to build-up your program step-by-step and not many new items at the same time, gets a little bit more familiar with MSP MCU’s, not need to debug hole your code (functions) at the same time, you will see these options are enough.

:) thats true Leo, thank you so much.

The right way to do it is:

- right click on project

- select Properties

Go to Debug->Program/Memory Load

Check the Disable Interrupts group: tick "When source stepping"

Apply. From next run it will work.
