STRANGE MEMORY ISSUE.IS THIS RELATED TO THE DEBUGGER OR CCS?

Hi,

  Below figures are my screen shots after introducing of  dummy array for previous problem .

.

THIS IS WATCH WINDOW.

THIS IS MY MEMORY WINDOW.

Does that introducing the dummy array would cause the problem after burnt to the target board.

How can i resolve it.Is debugger causing it or CCS or my code.

If you need more info I can give more details related to the problem.

Please let me know how to resolve it.

Thanks in advance,

JAGAS EDARA.

  Oops,Sorry I forgot to attach Stack window to my previous Posts.

Hi,

Below  text is the content of Linker_CC430f6137.cmd  file.I think this might help.

Thanks and regards,

JAGAS EDARA.

Hi Jagas,

once again I need more information.  Are you trying to write memory in your code?  If so how?  What settings and code do you use?

Regards,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Check the other posts of mine.Yesterday it self I posted 8 screen shots and linker files

related to that problem in CCS and MCU forums but i didnt posted them in as single post.

 I highlighted what kind of problem I am facing in my screen shorts. 

Actually I created a queue(which is structure and pointing to the data array) and data array .

And I am using it to store uart side receive and transmit data.

Check below code you may get an idea.One thing the debugger didnt shows any errors.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I defined this structure in queue.h file

typedef struct {
ot_u16 max;
 ot_u16 length;
Twobytes options;
ot_u8* front;
ot_u8* getcursor;
ot_u8* putcursor;
} Queue;

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is in queue.c file 
ot_u8 utxq_data[255];
ot_u8 urxq_data[255];
Queue utxq;
Queue urxq;

Queue txq;
Queue rxq;
ot_u8 txq_data[TXQ_ALLOC];
ot_u8 rxq_data[RXQ_ALLOC];

void q_writebyte(Queue* q, ot_u8 byte_in) {
*(q->putcursor) = byte_in;
q->putcursor++;
q->length++;
}

void q_writeshort(Queue* q, ot_uint short_in) {
ot_u8* data;
data = (ot_u8*)&short_in;

# if (PLATFORM_ENDIAN == BIG_ENDIAN)
q->putcursor[0] = data[0];
q->putcursor[1] = data[1];
# else
q->putcursor[0] = data[1];
q->putcursor[1] = data[0];
# endif

q->putcursor += 2;
q->length += 2;
}

void q_writelong(Queue* q, ot_ulong long_in) {
ot_u8* data;
data = (ot_u8*)&long_in;

# if (PLATFORM_ENDIAN == BIG_ENDIAN)
q->putcursor[0] = data[0];
q->putcursor[1] = data[1];
q->putcursor[2] = data[2];
q->putcursor[3] = data[3];
# else
q->putcursor[0] = data[3];
q->putcursor[1] = data[2];
q->putcursor[2] = data[1];
q->putcursor[3] = data[0];
# endif

q->putcursor += 4;
q->length += 4;
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is my main.c file.

void main()
{
 unsigned int cmd_len;

platform_poweron(); //power on plotform
platform_init_OT(); //initilizing all the modules including serial uart.

uartInit(); //its initialize the uart RX-TX buffers.
   
InitButtonLeds();
platform_ot_run();
cmd_len=17;
    while(1)
{

P3OUT ^= BIT6; //red led on

P1IFG = 0;
q_writebyte(&utxq,PID1);-------------------------"here i am trying store the value of PID1 in utxq_data array using utxq but I could not able to see what I am storing to that array."
q_writebyte(&utxq,PCKOP1);
q_writeshort(&utxq,cmd_len);
q_writeshort(&utxq,TMANFID1);
q_writelong(&urxq,SERID1);---------------------------------"It is working I can see what I am storing in that array."
q_writeshort(&urxq,SID1);
q_writebyte(&urxq,WRMEM_CMD1);
q_writebyte(&txq,PKTLEN1);
  q_writebyte(&txq,DATA1);----------------------------------- "It is working I can see what I am storing in that array."
q_writebyte(&txq,DATA2);
q_writebyte(&txq,DATA3);
q_writebyte(&txq,DATA4);
 TIMA_ITConfig(TIM0A5, ENABLE);
SLEEP_MCU();
   
}
}

Hi Lisa,

Sorry I forgot to ask one thing.You asked me about the setting I didnt get what kind of setting you are asking actually.

Thanks and regards,

JAGAS EDARA.

Hi Lisa,

Sorry for many posts.I felt its too much for single post .

 Since I do not know the cause for this strange issue I thought it would be CCS bug as suggested by MSP430 team.

So I am trying to get the new version of CCS but still I am not sure that will eliminate this issue.Anyhow  I need to try

and let you know  whether its working or not.

Thank you very much for your support.I am really appreciating your help.

Regards,

JAGAS EDARA.

Hi Jagas,

Just thought I would check if you have been able to try the latest CCS Version.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

No.I am not trying to get any new version.Kind of busy with on going work.Let you know if i wanted to try.

Regards,

Jagas edara
