Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553
Hi all,
I'm trying to use GUI Composer to communicate via UART with an MSP430G2553 Launchpad.
Host OS: Windows 7 64-bit, Service Pack 1
CCS: Version: 6.0.0.00190
I'm using the demo http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ProgramModelUart_GuiComposer
Also looking at the GUI_Composer ppt slides tutorial.
I'm able to program the device with the MSP_uart_monitor project. Also I can bring in the monitor app into Gui Composer.
Here is the error I'm getting:
ComPort: Trouble Reading Memory Block at 0x248 on Page 0 of Length 0x2: **Error**: Serial Communication failed at port: COM45, baud rate:9600!
I'm setting the alternate communication in the .ccxml file to match my Windows Device Manager COM45/9600 baud. (I would insert images but I can't figure out how.)
I'm able to see the alternate port "running" and I can click on it and load the symbols using the .out file.
I've seen other postings with similar problems, which seem to point to the .out file being out of sync. I've tried using different versions of CCS and writing a new .out file, although it seems current.
The tutorial makes sense and I'm able to follow it. Also, I can observe the variable "ErrorCount" in the debug window in JTAG mode, but when I switch to UART it loses connection.
Any suggestions on how to debug?
thank you,
Scott
