CCS/MSP430G2332: Break at address "0xfffe" with no debug information available, or outside of program code.

Part Number: MSP430G2332

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am working on a project using the MSP430G2332 and keep receiving the message "Break at address "0xfffe" with no debug information available, or outside of program code". I have all of the software and code I need since it is provided by TI on one of the product pages. After looking around at similar forums I think it's most likely an issue with memory mapping in lnk_msp430g2332.cmd so I checked what address 0xFFFE correlated to, which turns out to be the RESET. I'm not seeing any issues, but I'm new to coding microprocessors so it's likely there's something I'm missing. I've pasted the lnk.msp430g2332 code I am using below as well as a screenshot of my issue.
