CCS/MSP432P401R: Attach to a Running target without halting it

Part Number: MSP432P401R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28035

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

         I am working with a MSP432 LAUNCH PAD. I want to connect to a running device. I am not able to attach to it with out stopping the Micro. When I connect to the device, it always becomes halted. 

With the TMS320F28035 I can connect with it, and the device continues running without any problem.

                            Best Regards,

                           Fernando

  • Fernando,

    Which version of CCS are you using?  Historically this was not supported on Cortex M based devices. However with the latest debug stack this is supported.

    I am running CCSv9.1.0 and I can connect to the MSP432P401R LaunchPad without halting the device.

    In my case I am launching a debug session for the .ccxml file (vs the project) so that the program is not flashed again and I have the option to halt on connect disabled (bottom right):

    With this I can launch my debug session, connect to the device, and the program keeps running.  I flashed a program that was blinking the LED rapidly so that I would know if there was any interruption.

    Regards,

    John

  • Hi John,

                 Thanks for your reply. I have tried with CCSv9 and works perfectly. I was working with CCSv8.

  • Great to hear.
