FLASH not all loaded.

CCS V5 no problem listed for compile.

Memory shows

FLASH                   : origin = 0xE000, length = 0x1FDE

Console shows

MSP430: Loading complete. Code Size - Text: 330 bytes Data: 8 bytes

Why did all of program not load?

  • Hi Jerry,

    the default setting is normally only to load what is needed.  Your code less than fills the device, hence only the amount of memory the code uses (basically to load the code) gets loaded.  Many programmers (especially flash tools) will let you set fill values if you would prefer that ... however it is not normally necessary.  Note things get erased before programming to clear the old data.

    There is a .map file generated which shows you the exact breakdown of how much memory and where your code is.

    Hope this helps clarify.

    Best REgards,
    Lisa
