2 - 36 MSP430 Workshop - Programming C with CCS
Build The Code (ignore advice)
12. Build your project using “the hammer” and check for errors.
At this point, it is a good time to build your code to check for any errors before moving on.
Just click the “hammer” icon:
It should build without any Problems, although you should see two sets of Advice:
Optimization Advice (new to CCSv5.5) and Power (ULP™) Advice.
At this point, we’re just going to ignore their advice.
It’s better to get code running first. Later, we return
and investigate some of these items further.
If the program builds successfully, move to the next page to begin debugging. If you have
problems getting it to bulid, please ask a neighbor, or your instructor for help.
Sidenote: ULP Advisor
Sometime, when you launch the debugger (as we will soon), CCS will warn you that your code
could be better optimized for lower power.
While we like the ULP Advisor tool, this usually comes up a long time before we are ready to start
optimizing our performance. We recommend that you click the box:
Do not show this message again
As the dialog above indicates, you can always go into your project’s properties and enable or
disable this advice. We will do this in a later chapter, when we’re ready to focus on driving our
every last nanoamp.
