    The default settings for the stack and help size on MSP430 are too small to support printf. You could increase it, but then you will probably run out space on the target. I would not use printf.

    When the memory window is grey, it may mean that CCS is not connect to the target (hence cannot access target memory) or cannot access the memory region.

    Was there any warning/error messages?

    Can you show a screenshot of CCS?

    Thanks

  • Hi ki,

     

      There are no warning /error messages and my  target was connected .

     This is my screen short.

    .

    Please let me know how to enable it.

  • Ah, I think i understand what the issue is. The memory window is greyed out because there is not a valid address/symbol in the Address field. It is the first field with the text "Ent" in there. The field should say something like "Enter Address" but the field is so small that it got cut off. The field is small because it looks like you are using Windows Classic mode and there is a known issue with that mode (see below thread for more details):
