I am using a MSP430FR2111 with IAR Workbench 6.5 or 7.4 when it is
installed. I find that I cannot alter the pins to toggle up and down. I have
cleared the lock. There is no problem with my PCB as I can toggle a led
artificially. If I remove all components and the track for the pin, it still
does not toggle. I have tried a number of pins and also a number of boards.
I was concerned about the clock frequency and wanted to observe MCLK and
SMCLK but when I select this function I see ground on both pins when I use a
CRO. I cannot use an earlier version of Kickstarter as it does not include
this MCU. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
TIA

I've never used it, but have you checked the default port configuration
is byte and not word. That may have an effect.

Hi Al
Yes I have checked this. Usually IAR shows up an error if you address a Word register as byte or vice versa. Another funny thing is that the password in PMMCTCL0 reads out as 0xA5 rather than as 0x96 as it should. I am trying to download a later version of IAR but I cannot register a license yet.
Thanks
Peter

The only other time I have ever seen this problem was when i forgot the
options set up, and left the debugger on simulation and not FET, but
that seemed too obvious, especially since the blinky LED works, which I
assumed used the same project/code.

First make sure it's plugged in at the wall... :). Did this a few times
