MSP430 Workshop - Programming C with CCS 2 - 37
Debug The Code
Starting up the debugger is a 3-step process.You could even call it five steps, if you include
building and running the code. (In a few minutes, we’ll show you a quick shortcut.)
13. Launch a debug session.
This starts the CCS Debugger and then
switches to the Debug perspective.
a) Open Target Configurations window
View Target Configurations
b) Expand hierarchy until you can see your
project’s .ccxml file
c) Launch .ccxml file
Rt-click .ccxml file Launch Selected Configuration
Note: The first time you Launch a debugger session, you may encounter the following dialog:
This occurs when CCS finds that the FET firmware – that is, the firmware in your
Launchpad’s debugger – is out-of-date. We recommend that you choose to update the
firmware. Once complete, CCS should finish launching the debugger.
