CCS/MSP430FR5994: How to read FRAM values without entering CCS debug mode

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I want to read the value of some variables saved in FRAM after the MCU finishes its task. When the MCU is doing the task, it is powered by an external capacitor. After the task is finished, I want to check the result which is saved in FRAM.

I only know that we can see FRAM values in CCS debug mode by using the "Memory Brower". But entering the debug mode, CCS will re-program the MCU so that all previous data will be erased.

Is there any possible solution for my case?

Thanks,

Yubo

Hello Yubo,

You can use Uniflash in Memory mode to read out specific memory sections/variables. You can download it, or use the cloud based version at https://dev.ti.com/. Choose your device, then click into the Memory section and tell it to read the device. Then you can look at specific sections or export it for further review.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
JD
