CCS/MSP430FG4618: Defining a memory write watchpoint

I been digging around trying to get a CCS watchpoint defined that is only triggered on a write access. I've got the watchpoint defined, but am not sure how to restrict this to write only access?

In the CCS documentation, it refers to a Condition option in the breakpoint properties, but I'm not seeing that, nor any obvious way of restricting the breakpoint by access. I'm guessing this is trivial to do, but I can't see it! BTW, running CCS 9.3.0 using a TI FET to an MSP430.

Thanks - Andrew

This is what am am seeing in the breakpoint properties (hopefully I have this right, and the picture will upload this time!)

Hi Andrew,

The available breakpoint/watchpoint functionality can vary greatly depending on the device. For example, on a MSP430FR5969 there is an option to trigger on write access:

Check the options for the "Access" type. If your device supports triggering on write access, the option should appear there.

Thanks
