CODECOMPOSER: Program getting stuck in __TI_decompress_lzss while debugging.

Hi,

I am using MSP430FR6047 and ccs v12.4.0. I am trying to use separate memory section that i have created for my data. As below:

#pragma DATA_SECTION(myDataObject, ".mySection")
#pragma RETAIN(myDataObject)

When i start debugging, the program gets stuck in __TI_decompress_lzss function for some reason and doesn't get to main.

When i use #pragma PERSISTENT, i don't see the above issue. 

Here is the snapshot of the area where program gets stuck. 

How can I resolve this? Any help would be appreciated. 

Regards,
