How to terminate program

Shel Sherman

I have "blink" running on a F5529 but cannot find a way to terminate the program. None of the commands in RUN have any effect. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Shel

    Hi Shel,

    what is "blink"? Is it an example code provided with the LaunchPad for the F5529? And what are the commands in "RUN"? Can you post a link to the sources?

    MCU code is not intended to be terminated. When you apply power to an MCU, it starts and when you remove power, it ends. Code can be written to perform a job only once and then end up in an endless loop or low-power mode. But there is not 'termination', as there is no OS you could return to after running the program.

    If the program is not written to end on some sort of signal, then it won't - until you power-off or reset the device.
