CCS/LAUNCHXL-F28377S: Debugging without a flashed program device

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28377S


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello TI community,

I am currently working with the LaunchXL-F28377S. I have successfully flashed a program onto the flash memory. I was wondering if there was a way to view the watch expressions in the CCS debug interface without having to re-flash/debug the device each time?

  • Manual launch describes how to launch the debugger if you don't want to load code to the target but want to simply debug code that was previously flashed.

    MSP430 - Connecting to a running target also describes how to connect to a running target without resetting it (while the referenced WIki page was written for MSP430 devices, it also is relevant to other devices).

  • so I am following the first intruction in the "Manual launch" link you provided, when I click "Launch selected configuration" all it does it brings open the debug menu with the stop button available. The run button is unavailable

    When you use the "Launch selected configuration" it doesn't automatically connect to the core, which is why the run button is unavailable.

    After launching the selected configuration if you right click on the C28xx core in the Debug window and select "Connect" then the other buttons should become available.
