I am very new to the Texas Instruments Board. I am using MSP430F6779A and IAR 7.12.4 as IDE and JTAG as programmer/debugger. In IAR, I am able to compile the code and even after clicking on download and debug, I could debug the code step-by-step by setting breakpoints. But irrespective of what I write in the code, there is no changes in the microcontroller board. I have only included the io430.h and io430f6779.h header files in the code. I am currently doing register level coding by using port registers like P1DIR/P1OUT, etc. My question is 1. Do I need to add any header files other than what I listed? 2. Is there any header files after which I can code through APIs? 3. Is there something else I am missing? Please help as I am a complete beginner with this device.
Check Project->Options->Debugger->Setup->Driver and choose something other than "Simulator". (I don't recall what the other options are.)
Hello,
Bruce hit the nail on the head. You are likely in "Simulation" mode so you will want to select "FET Debugger" in the Driver drop-down in the path mentioned above.
Best regards,
Matt
