Forum Post: RE: How to make a variable __no_init in CCS?

I'm using MSP430f6723.

Hi all,

Is there an equivalent of FRAM memory?

Basically the WatchTimer that I'm using should never be powered down. The battery will last for many months.

I need, though, to retain some variables in RAM that won't be erased. How can I make them NOINIT using CCS 5.3?

I don't want to save to the flash - since there's a limit on how many times and I need the variables to be updated to what they were directly before reset. The only time the watch is reset is when burning new FW (BSL). The battery continues to supply voltage throughout.

Thanks,

Mechi
