How does one stop Code Composer 5 from erasing InfoA?

Hi,

are you talking about an msp430? If so I don't believe you can fine tune ccs to that exact level. Your options are

1 - protect infoA by locking it (see the msp family guide/msp430 forum)

2 - in ccs under project->properties->debug->msp430 properties you can select to only write memory as necessary .. ie only changed memory locations. Note there is still a minimum segment that is always written or erased together as a chunk.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Yes, Msp430.

The CCSv4 sequence ... right click Project name -> Properties (list) -> CCS Debug (list) -> Target (tab) -> MSP430 Properties (list) -> Download options Erase Main Memory Only (radio button).

There is nothing similar in CCSv5?

In CCS 5.4 under CCS Project Properties -> Debug -> MSP430 Properties -> Download options on the Erase Options radio button select either:

a) "Erase main memory only" will erase the main memory; but NOT erase information segments A, B, C and D.

b) "Erase main and information memory" will erase the main memory, information segments B, C and D; but NOT erase (protected) information segment A.
