Debug Error: No Source available for main(), while fixing the address of the program entry point in CCS

Deep,

Please provide some additional details so we can guide you in the right direction.

- Which device/board are you working with?
- What is the reason to place the entry point at a specific address?
- Are you able to reach main and get the program to run properly if you do not place entry point at a specific address, but keep everything else the same?
- Is the project built with symbolic debugging enabled? You can check this in the Project Properties->Build->Compiler->Advanced OPtions->Advanced Debug options. If the debugging is set to none, then the message you are seeing is expected.

This I am doing by putting ‘.text:_isr:_c_int00_noexit : {} > 0x9400’ line in linker command (.cmd) file, it says No Source available for main(), while starting the debugger .

And the link also didn't help me.

I dont have that exact device to test with, but tried a test with a different MSP430 device by placing the .text:_isr:_c_int00_noexit section at a fixed address and didnt have any issues reaching main/running the code.

Aer you able to share your project? (zip it up and attach it here). I may not be able to run it but can take a look at the linker command files/map files etc to see if anything else stands out.
