Bruce,

Thanks, no I haven't tried _BIS_SR(GIE). I get it now.

You still need interrupts globally enabled even if you don't turn off the
CPU.

Have you tried _BIS_SR(GIE); or _EINT(); etc.?

Here's my C code:



My problem is that unless I uncomment out the

_BIS_SR(CPUOFF + GIE) statement which puts the MSP430 into LPM0, I
get no Timer A interrupt. I don't want to put the MSP430 into LPM0
because I want the RTC to be running in the background while the
MSP430 is doing other things.
