Hi,

I am trying to perform code coverage using GNU V6.2.1.16 compiler in Code Composer Studio V 6.2 for MSP430 microcontroller, but i am not able to achieve it. Can anybody suggest the steps to be followed to achieve code coverage also the profiling.

I am using MSP-FET Emulation Tool to download the code. Does we need another (Any Specific?) debugger?

Hello,
Your options are a bit limited on MSP430. There are two tools that come to mind. The first is the profile clock:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Profile_clock_in_CCS

Note that enabling the clock will use up a breakpoint resource. Since there are only a limited number of these on MSP430 (I believe just 2), it can impact your debugging flexibility. So keep this in mind when enabling the clock.

The other tool is EEM:

This can provide some simple trace capability.

Thanks
