CCS/LP-MSP430FR2476: printf causes a breakpoint / suspend

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

This is essentially a repeat of this earlier topic from a few years ago - but I didn't see a permanent solution:
https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/563445

Basically, printf works on the MSP430FR2476, but every time you get to one, the debugger hits a mystery breakpoint at line 114 in trgmsg.c:

for (i = 0; i < length; i++) PACKCHAR(*data++, p, i+8);

It's not clear to me how to work around this?

Thanks!

Hello Dave,

This is a known issue. Please see the below for details:

The ETA for the fix should be CCS 10.2 timeframe.

Thanks

Thanks for that - are there any known workarounds for the time being?

Looks CCS 10.2 is due in Q3 some time as well?

There is no known workaround (other than disabling C I/O breakpoints).

Yes, CCS 10.2 is Q3 timeframe.

Thanks
