CCSv4 can't run program

Hi Radek,

what do you mean by "it only works when I turn off and on MCU"?

What version of CCS4 do you have?  The MCU code limited version?

What exactly are you experiencing?  Do you get any error logs or dump files generated?

Have you tried a fresh workspace/project?   Are you sure you are in the debug perspective?  At the top right corner of CCS normally you should see with CCS Edit or CCS Debug.  You will not have the run, halt, step over, etc unless you switch to the CCS Debug perspective.

Please keep us informed.

Best REgards,

Hi Lisa,

thanks for interest. I'll try to describe my problem, but my english is not really good. 

I've bought MSP-FET430UIF. On included CD there was CCS Version: 4.0.2.01003. I've created new project and prepared example code:

#include "msp430x41x.h"

int main(void)
{
  WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;             // Stop watchdog timer
  P5DIR |= 0x02;                        // Set P5.1 to output direction

  for (;;)
  {
    volatile unsigned int i;            // volatile to prevent optimization

    P5OUT ^= 0x02;                      // Toggle P5.1 using exclusive-OR

    i = 10000;                          // SW Delay
    do i--;
    while (i != 0);
  }
}

Then i click Project -> Rebuild All

Target -> Debug active project

Program switch me to Debug view. Than I'd like to click Target -> Run but the icon is "gray". There is no errors. In console is writen:

MSP430: Program loaded. Code Size - Text: 78 bytes  Data: 2 bytes

and there is flashing red led on FET (MODE)

When turn off and on power supply program starts working (led is blinking)

So I know that debugger is progamming but no debugging. I suppose I have to extra configure debugger, am I right?

Hi Radek,

could you send a screen shot?  What if you try upgrading to the latest production release?  (4.2.5)   Are you using the code size limited version?

Do you have the JTAG plugged in to the experimenter board in the correct JTAG slot?  The old experimenter board you have has two, one for the FG4x device and one for the F2x device on board.

Hi Radek,

just wanted to check whether there is any update here.  Were the tips helpful?

Best Regards,
