Here is what I am doing:
I'm working on an MSP430G2553. I set a breakpoint by right clicking in the code and choosing Breakpoint. Then I choose the Breakpoint tab, right click the breakpoint and choose properties. Within the properties tab under Action I change the choice from "Remain Halted" to "Refresh All Windows". I load a variable into the expressions window so I can watch it get updated.
It doesn't work. When I choose "Resume" the hardware shows that the software isn't running, although the CCSv5 display does not indicate the program is paused. When I select pause, CCSv5 shows the program has halted (and apparently Remained Halted) at the breakpoint.
The interesting part is that with some programs and some breakpoints it does work. So I'm sure I'm doing something wrong or misunderstanding what the criteria for the use of this option is.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.
