CCS/MSP430G2553: Options in 'Run' menu are grayed out.

Part Number: MSP430G2553

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I just started programming with Code Composer Studio. I am using MSP430G2553 MCU. I followed this tutorial, added code to toggle LED and built the project to which I got following output:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project Float Precision ****

"C:\\ti\\ccsv8\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k -j 4 all -O 

gmake[1]: 'Float Precision.out' is up to date.

**** Build Finished ****

After this I am supposed to click on 'Run -> Debug'. However, all options in Run menu are grayed out. I see following:

How do I get a normal menu?

Thanks

Tehreem,

The Run menu should look very different from what you are seeing. This is what it looks like in the CCS Debug Perspective:

This is what it looks like in the CCS Edit Perspective:

Based on your screen capture you are not in a CCS perspective. A perspective is an arrangement of views, menus and toolbar items. Based on that tutorial you were following (which is not from TI) you should have been in the CCS edit perspective.

If you go to the top right corner of CCS what icons are shown? It should have something like this with the CCS Edit Perspective being shown as the current perspective.
