CCS/MSP430F5529: Console :CIO not working

Part Number: MSP430F5529

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am currently fairly new in the microcontroller universe and Need them for University.

I am facing a problem considering the console and the printf command.

To make it easier, I am using the "Hello World" example file when making a new project.

The console :CIO is only opening exactly one time, if I Flash the script again i do not see the output, then I have to restart the whole Code Composer Studio.

I am using Code Composer Studio  8.2.0.00007.

I have changed the Heap to 320 and turned off the Energy-Trace function.

I hope that somebody can help me soon.

If you need further details please do not hesitate to ask.

Michael

  • Michael,

    There is an article that explains the requirements for the Console I/O to properly operate. Check sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the following document:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Tips_for_using_printf

    That said, the F5529 seems to have plenty of RAM to use Console I/O. However, please be aware that these functions tend to break real-time operation (as they set a breakpoint) and therefore are rarely used during the natural evolution of your project.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
