CCS/MSP430FR4133: GUI Composer not updating :)

Part Number: MSP430FR4133


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Dear!

My GUI composer app in the screenshot only shows the data values the first time! So the next widgets, they never udpate even if I touch the sensor.

However, in Code Composer Studio, they are WATCHED and update perfectly.

I have taken the ".out" file from CCS (Desktop version, I do not think I have to take it from cloud version, have I?) and linked the vars.

The program It is a simple loop and the values are global floats.

I have tried this with both Linux Firefox and Linux Chrome, last versions.

So, any suggestion! :) As you can see, the hardware is connected.

Please, let me know and have a very nice day!

    Which target communication setting are you using in your GUI Composer project? The reason I ask is that MSP430 devices do not support real-time debug via XDS/JTAG. So for these devices, you would need to use an alternate communication method with GUI Composer, like USB-UART .

    It works the same with CCS. When using a JTAG emulator and watching variables in expression or memory view, the variables will only be updated when the target is halted, not when it is running. Are you seeing something different?

    There is more information about the different target communication methods and examples in the GC v2 Users Guide here:

    Any answer on this?

    Oh, I am using msp430fr4133 launchpad! I forgot to mention :) I think the debugger / programmer is XDS110 for the connection :)

    According to the MSP430FR4133 Launchpad product page, the emulator is an on-board eZ-FET. In any case, as I said before, the GUI Composer widgets will not update in real-time while the device is running if you use XDS method of communication in the GUI Composer project. You would need to use the UART model as described in the GUI Composer Users Guide link that I sent in my previous post if you want the widgets to update while the device is running.
