MSP430FG4618 Experimenter Board-assembly project-no symbols defined at 0x000000

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hi TI E2E community,
I'm having a very frustrating problem that I've tried searching all over these forums and google to find a solution but am having no luck.

I am using this board and cable. Using Code Composer v6.0

https://estore.ti.com/MSP-EXP430FG4618-MSP430FG4618F2013-Experimenter-Board-P1007.aspx

https://estore.ti.com/msp-fet.aspx

Here's the steps I've been following,

-Open CCS

-Create new CCS project

-Using template, create empty assembly-only project (using all default settings so far)

-Replace given code with my code

-Build project

-debug

That's when I keep getting "no symbols defined at 0x000000"/"no source available for 0x0"

The code that I'm using works perfectly at my school's lab (using CCS5.1) but refuses to work at my home PC. I'm very new to this so I don't quite know how to solve this. This code is straight from the professor's example.

			.cdecls C,LIST,"msp430fg4618.h"

			.text
			.global	_START
START		mov.w	#0x300,SP

StopWDT		mov.w	#WDTPW+WDTHOLD,&WDTCTL

SetupP1		bis.b	#0x04,&P2DIR

Mainloop	xor.b	#0x04,&P2OUT

			mov.w	#0xA000,R7

L1			dec.w	R7
			jnz		L1

			jmp		
Mainloop

			.sect	".reset"
			.short	START

			.end

Please let me know if I left any vital information out. Thank you very much for your time and help.

    Hello,

    This message is saying that there are no debug symbols at address 0x0, where the program counter is halted.

    Since it is halted at 0x0, it sounds like you did not explicitly specify an entry point in the project properties. Did you get some warning like:

    warning #10202-D: no suitable entry-point found; setting to 0

    Check that project at your school lab PC and check the to see if an entry-point was specified in the project linker properties. You most likely need to set you project the same way.

    Thanks

    I do indeed get "warning #10202-D", I apologize for not listing it, it must have slipped my mind.

    I do not have lab access until 9/11/14, I will check through the settings when I attend lab.

    Just wondering though, is there any generic entry point setting that you can recommend that would work in my case?

    Thank you very much, your help eases my frustrated mind.

    The entry point would vary depending on the environment and build settings used. Since I don't have any other details about the original working project, I'm not sure. It would be best to wait and see the properties of the original project. I would actually just import the whole project into your workspace at home.
