Compiler/MSP430FR5994: How to run existing binaries from CCS? And use Energy Trace Technology?

Part Number: MSP430FR5994

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I have some binaries compiled using msp430-elf-gcc. I would like to run them using CCS 10 and capture energy details from Energy Trace. How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

A Manual launch will allow a pre-compiled program to be downloaded and run. You should also be able to start an Energy Trace session.

What format are the pre-compiled "binaries", i.e. are they an ELF file or a binary image?

Chester, thank you! I will try ET with Manual launch.

The pre-compiled files are elf files.

OK, you should just be able to Run → Load → Load Program and select the ELF file to load.
