I'm having trouble writing to a variable placed within a custom section of FRAM. I can read the value (0xFF) at each location, but cannot seem to update the value. It seems like there may be some sort of write protection happening that I am unaware of? I believe the MSP430FR2033 does not have an MPU, so I'm guessing that's not the problem.
In the simple test program below I can inspect the memory location of TestBuffer (located at 0xC400) and the values do not change. I can also see that read_test can read the initial value of TestBuffer[1] which is 0xFF, but the second read still returns 0xFF despite updating the value of TestBuffer[1] = 0x11.
I've also included the custom .cmd linker for reference. Any help would be appreciated.
main.c
#include <msp430.h>
#pragma DATA_SECTION(TestBuffer, ".log_buffer")
volatile unsigned char TestBuffer[10];
int main(void)
{
volatile unsigned char read_test = 0;
WDTCTL = WDTPW | WDTHOLD; // stop watchdog timer
read_test = TestBuffer[1];
TestBuffer[1] = 0x11;
read_test = TestBuffer[1];
TestBuffer[0] = 0x22;
return 0;
}
