Got out my second MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit and started over. The debug firmware was updated when first plugged in...lots of LED's flashing. Attempted to Debug but I get the same message: "Error connecting to the target: Unknown Device." Same as before. That is two LaunchPads with two failures. Losing lots of timer here.
Suggestions????? Hurry!!!!!
Moving this to the CCS forum.
Hi Alexander,
See, if this will work. At CCSV6 App Center type "cc3200" at the search box and change "Relevance" to "All". See, below. CC3200 Add-on and TI-RTOS for Simplelink should appear.

G'Day Kel,
adc.c is already linked to the project (rather than copied into the project).
The project compiles fine if the path to adc.c and adc.h is added to the include path.
If I remove this path, I get the error.
I guess my question is why do I need to make this change to the include path. I would have thought linking the files to the project woule be enough.
Cheers
Julian.
Hi,
I would like to use __builtin_constant_p from the GCC Language Extensions with the C2000 compiler, to have constant-folding on expressions performed when possible. According to chapter 6.15.5 "Built-In Functions" from C/C++ Compiler User's Guide SPRU514G, this is supported when using --gcc.
But I get:
Error #1494: builtin function __builtin_constant_p not supported
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Felix
Darian,
I have done as you requested. I presumed that ctools.dll was the file you wished me to remove.
I will monitor the situation over the next week to see if the problem occurs.

Hi,
great. Thanks for the update and glad to hear. All the best with development.
Best regards,

Azim,
Thanks for posting to the forum. The hex2000 utility can generate a hex file from the out file. In your previous post I included a link to the users guide for that executable. It has clear instructions for how to generate a hex file from a out file.
Yes, Uniflash can download a hex file to your target device.
BR,
Trey
What ISA are you using? What are your exact command-line options?
Can you make array "a" const?
We'll need more of a test case. Show us the definition of b and c. Show us your linker command file.
I concur with Tony that you should not put variable definitions in header files; it tends to lead to confusing error messages as your project grows. You should change it to
extern plan_struct plan_description;
and put the definition of plan_description in some C file.
Additionally, check that you don't have another definition of "struct plan_struct" somewhere else in your program.

This GEL file sounds older than from CCSv3.1. I say this because it is doing target access from the StartUp() routine which is a big no-no starting with CCSv2.4 and greater.
You'll need to tweak the GEL file so it will work with CCSv2.4 and greater. See this app note for more details:
http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/spraa74a
Pay particular focus on Section 3.1.
Dave,
Have you tried UniFlash? This is a stand-alone flash programmer that is capable of programming/loading different hex formats, so could be an alternate option to "Load Memory" from within CCS.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:CCS_UniFlash
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CCS_UniFlash_Release_Notes_Latest#List_of_Supported_File_Types
If you have the same problem with this utility as well, please provide the hex file you are trying to program (and details on which memory addresses it loads to and which ones do not get programmed as expected) so we can try to reproduce the issue locally.
Digging into the breakpoint / watchpoint properties does provide more options. But I'm looking to implement a "with data outside of range" style of watchpoint. I don't think I can specify that with just data and an OR mask. Maybe I'm not thinking about it correctly.
I understand your confusion. But, unless it specifically says otherwise, all feature discussed, and all examples shown, refer only to the TI compiler.
Thanks and regards,

At the same time, I try to make some different setting in the Libraries tab like:
libprussdrv.a
or
D:\BeagleBoneBlackDevelopment\SDKnPackage\pru_sdk\lib\libprussdrv.a
...etc.
[/quote]
The library name passed to the -l option of the GNU Linker should not contain the "lib" prefix or ".a" suffix. So, for example, specify prussdrv instead of libprussdrv.a.
There is a GNU linker reference here.
Hi Ki,
Thanks for your comments.
1. I would like the 'clean' build to delete all the object files it generated, but due to some reason, it doesn't. This is why I was curious if there is any way to specify which files need to be deleted, where I can make sure that I want all the generated files to be deleted.
2. There is an assembly file in the same name in my project, but I have excluded it from the current build configuration. I would expect it not to generate the associated object and not look for it while linking. As expected, it doesn't compile the file and doesn't generated the associated object file, but due to some reason it tries to link the non-existent file during the linking process.
I have attached the .*project files here: (Please visit the site to view this file) . I do see "DSP281x_CSMPasswords.asm" mentioned there among the source file, but I am not sure why it appears there. Here is the project explorer screenshot:
I would really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Tamil
[quote user="snellr"] I agree that my compiler params (--silicon_version or --float_support) don't show up on the console or params list, even though they are set in the GUI as you specified. [/quote]
That's strange, and seems like a bug
[quote user="snellr"]the size of wchar_t is different in this thirdparty lib[/quote]
The TI compiler does have a switch to set the size of wchar_t, but to match the GCC object file, you'd have to recompile the RTS library, and I'm not sure that's the easiest path.
I'm afraid I don't have a great deal of expertise with mixing object files with the GCC ARM compiler, so I'm going to have to ask someone else to take up this thread.
Joey,
Are you using Altium for Spice simulation or for Schematic & Layout or for both? If you need the unencrypyed model, please get in touch with your local field contact.
Thanks,
[quote user="Benjamin Fitzpatrick"]With that information I was able to set a stack watchpoint and discover that an unused System_printf was being invoked which was filling up all my stack space.
Now I just have to find out how we're getting to that function (which wasn't called anywhere) in the first place...[/quote]I think System_printf may be called if SYS/BIOS detects an error. Have you tried setting a breakpoint on System_printf?
[quote user="Ben Dumas"]However, when I tried to debug the project, I get the following message:
M3_wakeupSS_0: Error connecting to the target: (Error -1266 @ 0x0) Device is held in reset. Take the device out of reset, and retry the operation. (Emulation package 5.1.450.0)[/quote]The AM3358 has a Cortex-A8 core and a Cortex-M3 core, where the Cortex-M3 core has to be released from reset by the Cortex-A8.
StarterWare is designed to run on the Cortex-A8, but from the error message CCS is trying to load the program to the Cortex-M3 core which fails.
When launching the debug session did you get the following dialogue and leave the M3_wakeupSS selected a CPU to load the program on?
For StarterWare you only want to load the program onto the Cortex A8.
