Hi,

it seems that you have a problem with clock configuration, regarding the 
leds. You should be using the DCO, do you know the frequency it is 
running? Check the user's guide (Basic Clock Module chapter) to see how 
to configure the DCO. Probably you can use an I/O pin to output MCLK, 
check the pinout in the datasheet of your device.

Regarding the SPI, you forgot to set the SWRST bit before configuring 
it. Maybe this is why it's not working.

Regards,
Adriano.

Hi,

I am using a MSP430FE427 for doing a power metering project. Im using
Code Composer Essentials. Currently I have no external crystal, just
the internal one.

I wanted to test it for starters using two leds so i wrote delay
function using for loops and toggled the two leds on and off. When led
1 is off led 2 is on etc. This was fine in debug mode when in release
mode led 1 was on most of the time and led 2 was off most of the time.
I rewrote the delay using a timer with the same problem. Anyone know
what might be going on?

Also, im trying to use SPI to interface an lcd and also an external
memory. The code is at the end of this post. Im just not quite sure if
im setting it up all right cause it doesnt seem to want to work. Once
the write enable is set in the memory the status reg should be equal to
2 and it doesnt seem to work. Any help here? I have check CS is working
and also looked at the data and clock on a cro, now im thinking it
something in my code.

Thanks,
Tony.
