BASIC debugging function for TIRTOS

Hi Salento,

What device (and board) are you using? In CCS, there is GUI Composer (if you selected it when you installed CCS). You can use this with GPIO Interrupt example in TI-RTOS. GUI Composer uses a UART to query the status of the "count" variable on the target. There is a small task (UARTMon) running on the target that handles the communication. The readme in the example goes into more details.

CC2650...of course that's the one device we don't have the GPIO Interrupt example for:(
I'll find a CC2650 board and post a simple GUI Composer/UARTMon example for you to try.

Thank you so much I appreciate your help!

Hi Salento,

To get GUI Composer to work, add Board_initUART the following into main().

    Board_initGeneral();
    Board_initUART(); 

In the .cfg, add UARTMon. You can do this graphically and select the desired baudrate, etc.

Build and run the application on the target. Open GUI composer and select a variable to look at.

Please refer to the TI-RTOS Utilities in the TI-RTOS User Guide for details about UARTMon.

Hi Todd,

i am using the MSP432 Launchpad and want to look at the ADC variable using the GUI Composer.
I have manage to use GUI Composer and the Variable appears on the graph, but i am not happy about the 200 ms Graph rate.
If i want to speed up the Graphical rate, i will have to export the GUI using UART, becouse the USB Debuger Interface is not supportet for the MSPs to export.

Now i have tryied out this example here:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../ProgramModelUart_GuiComposer

I set up the UART and all the others Files in this example for the MSP432.
The Projekt works and i testet it with Hyperterminal.

Now when i was debugging my project, the Connection "USB Debug Interface" and the "UART Connection" were runing. But i couldnt see the ADC variable in the UART Connection mode, it says to it couldnt access its Adress.

I am sure that the UART Periferal is working fine becouse i have testet it with Hyperterminal, it must be some missing settings on CCS.

Then i found this example here:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Using_UARTMon

I couldnt do step 3 becouse my project doenst have a .cfg file.
Where do i find or generate a .cfg file? (Using CCS V6)

I think that the UARTMon is what i am missing to get the value in UART Mode Connection.

Any idea?

regards,

Michael
