Debugger Doesn't Reach Main

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5419

Hi,

I'm using CCS v4.2.3.00004 to write code for an MSP430F5419 and using the MSP-FETU430IF USB debugger.

A project that was working fine now won't run to main, if I stop the code it seems to be in a call to memcpy which I'm guessing is something to do with setting up variables before main is called.

I need help with this as this has stopped my development dead.

Regards,

Ben

 

  • Hi Ben,

    Can you please provide more information to help us help you debug.

    What might have changed to make the project stop working?

    What error message are you seeing?

    Have you tried cleaning out your CCS workspace a bit?  Tried a clean and rebuild all?

    Have you recently done any updates?

    Any such further information would help us. 

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • Hi,

    It has just started working again.

    I don't believe anything changed between it working, not working and working again, I didn't get any error messages the debugger just doesn't make it to main.

    I had tried cleaning out the workspace but this didn't fix it, I haven't recently done any updates.

    Regards,

    Ben

  • Hi Ben,

    I am not sure that there is much we can do at this point then.  That I am aware of there are no known such issues.

    Intermittant issues are always hard to find but we would need something to go on.  A message, symptom, pattern, specific memory address being hit each time the problem occurs, etc.  If the behaviour continues it would also be good to try and determine ... is it a connection issue, a hardware issue causing this symptom in the debugger, or is it the debugger having the seemingly intermittant issue. 

    If any of these come up and the problem continues, please just contact us again.  For now we will close this thread as this seem to be up and running on your end again.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • Ok fair enough,
