MSP432 UART Monitor

Hi there,

i am using the MSP432 Launchpad and want to start a GUI to watch a variable on a graph.

So first of all i downloaded the CCS Projekt and GUI Example for the MSP430.

Then i Port the Project to MSP432 successfuly and i can debug the Project and watch the Errorcount variable on the XDS100 Debuger. 

And i open the GUI and i could reset the Errorcounter and watch it on the graph.

Then i added the UART connection  and start debugging. The UART connection was running, so i load the Symbols and i got a error message:

ComPort: Trouble Reading Memory Block at 0x20000044 on Page 0 of Length 0x4: **Error**: Serial Communication failed at port: COM4, baud rate:9600!   To use serial monitor, please ensure the following prerequisites are satisfied:  1. Make sure the cable is plugged into both the target and the host on the right COM port.  2. Make sure a compatible target side serial monitor is loaded and running on the target device.

So i testet the connection with a Serial Monitor like hyperterminal and loop back the received message. So the connection is working but not with CCS.

Also testet on another example like GPIO_interrupt and the UART connection was working and i could see the variable. 

But now what does the CCS sends to the MCU? Becouse it will release an UART interrupt on the UAR_Monitor example. On the GPIO_Interrupt example i dindt initialisate the UART and i could watch the variable via UART Connection Debugger.

How does the CCS works with the UART Debugger connection ? Should i or shouldnt i initializate a UART on MCU?
