MSP430G2553: IAR 7.11.2 FET Debugger doesn't work as expected with LaunchPad MSP-EXP430G2

Hi Danillo,

Can you provide more information on the issue you're experiencing. Are you able to connect to the device? Are you getting any error messages? etc.

Best regards,

IAR output is "Failed to set breakpoint". I can advance some lines (step into) before the error. After that the IAR runs continuously.
Output: "Tue Mar 13, 2018 17:13:52: Invalid parameter(s) : (SetNewEEMBreakpoint) , pwBpHandle=0, lAddrVal=0, bpMode=0, status=0xffffffff"

Hi Danilo,

Just to verify, is the MSP430 debug session paused when trying to set the breakpoint? Do you have other breakpoints setup in your session that are working?

Best regards,

No. I'm not using fixed breakpoints, despite the error, I'm using steps like "step into". The fixed breakpoints that you are referring to don't work either. The application runs successfully, but I can't see the debugger pass through the lines. It's like an automatic continuous execution starting from some line, but sometimes that freezes the application. When I try to continue the debugger session (per line), continuous execution is forced again.

Hi Danilo,

This is behavior I don't believe we've noticed before. Can you try running the code in Code Composer Studio and see if you get the same results?

Best regards,

It works perfectly in Code Composer Studio. There is something wrong with IAR.
