Forum Post: Headless Debugging CCSv5 MSP430 Target

$

I would like to be able to debug CCSv5 (or newer) built binaries on an MSP430 without the IDE preferably in a Linux terminal. How would this be possible? Also, a side question is if there are any nice MSP430FR5969 emulators?

I've considered using the CCSv6 Beta msp430-elf-gdb with the executable that was generated by the cl430 compiler, but it doesn't seem to mesh well with mspdebug and I can't find any other tool to act as a host for it. I've made it attach to mspdebug but it segfaults when trying to set a breakpoint.

The msp430-elf-gdb does seem to parse the CCS debug symbols without complaining which is a good sign, though I'd like some insight from someone who knows whether this would be safe to do.

I've also looked at DSS but that doesn't seem to work from a terminal. I should mention I'm using cmake for the build system and that it would be quite difficult to change that since I'm building for many targets. Is there a nice way to launch DSS from a linux terminal with no GUI and attach a debugger that functions similarly to GDB?

The main goal is to be able to debug code from a linux terminal so I'm open to other suggestions if they satisfy that condition. Thanks!
