To all the hard working crew
   I have a wierd bug in a MSPF1232. I use a the IAR c compiler and 
the processor constantly goes to an endless jmp loop 'FF3F' to itself.
This instruction is placed just after the call to main in the starup 
file. If change JTAG tools or compilers ( same results with 
IMAGECRAFT ) the results are the same. Is this some permenent flash 
option in the MSP430. It makes one loop at best thru main and then 
jumps to the _exit loop after main. It appears to be leaving 
main.c ??????

Doug,

it sounds like you've figured out what is happening, you're exiting
from the main() routine...

do you have code that can exit or do you have a 'for(ever);' loop in
main? if you do, is there a 'break;' out of the body of that loop?

I had something like that happen in an assembler program (also for the 
'F1232) the other day, I'd forgotten the RET at the end of a
sub-routine. It 
was some time before I worked out what was going on. 8-(

Doug, have you tried a different F1232? I am assuming your main() is not 
returning or exiting...
