MSP432P4111: gcc arm embedded tool chain for simplelink debugger issues

Part Number: MSP432P4111

Hi all,

I have been facing issues while using gcc arm embedded tool chain for simplelink(https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau688b/slau688b.pdf).  I have enlisted the issues below

1. ./gdb_agent_console -f MSP432 xds110_msp432_swd.dat  : if i run this command i get the following error

Failed to configure xds110_msp432_swd.dat: Unable to load MSP432 Flash utility

but if i run as ./gdb_agent_console -f MSP430 xds110_msp432_swd.dat, no issues i am able to run the console and connect to it via gdb 

2. After connecting the gdb to the gdb_agent_console (Note:I rand the command ./gdb_agent_console -f MSP432 xds110_msp432_swd.dat for this) i load the elf file by typing the following command

file "elf file name"

after loading the elf file is set the break point as follows

hbreak filename.cpp:line number , no issues till the break point is set.

When i type "stepi" i see the statement

0x00000000 in interruptVectors ()

then when i type in step is see this statement

0xa5a5a5a5 in ?? ()

and an error in gdb_agent_console

FAILED! GTI_SETBP_EX(hpid=0x83eee0,addr=0x719,type=0,count=1,access=0)=ffffffff
(Error -1066 @ 0x718)
Unable to set/clear requested breakpoint. Verify that the breakpoint address is in valid memory.
(Emulation package 6.0.579.0)

Let me know the exact steps to debug MSP432 as the steps in mentioned in the pdf for the tool chain are not working

Thanks,

Neetha.
