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

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

Hi Al

That hit the nail right on the head!!

Mucho gracias.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?
