CCS/MSP430FR5949: MSP430FR5949

Part Number: MSP430FR5949
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5728,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I have a system with a master MSP430FR5949 and a slave MSP430FR5728.

Both communicate via a UART link.

In order to debug the interaction between the two is regurarly have to swap my MSP430FET debugger between the two MCU's and swap in CCS between the two projects.

Is it possible in CCS to have two FET debuggers connected, one to each processor and swap between them in for instance single stepping and breakpointing just by changing the active project?

    Hello Jan,
    Yes you can have two different projects, each using a different ccxml file (one for each MSP430FET probe plugged into the computer - "TI MSP430 USB1" and "TI MSP430 USB2") and debugging a project will use the associated ccxml file

    You might also be able to launch two different debug session simultaneously, one for each MSP430FET, and debug both at the same time. I'll confirm this when I am in the office tomorrow.

    Thanks

    I confirm that this will work. You can launch two separate instances of CCS and have each one start a debug session for each target. Note that you must use a separate workspace folder for each instance.

    Thanks

    Ki,

    If I start a second instance of CCS I get the message that the default workspace is already in use and I have to choose another.

    How can I create a new workspace?

    When you launch CCS, you are normally prompted for a workspace location. However, if you selected the option to use the same workspace by default, then you may not see it:

    In that case, you can have CCS use a different workspace folder via:

    Thanks Ki,
    I made a new folder and copied all files from the old workspace, renamed them to workspace_1 and workspace_2,
    I can now launch two instances and debug both processors simultaneously.
    THanks for the support.
