Title: MSP430-JTAG-ISO-MK2 with CCS5.5
Post by: SilverDiamond on October 10, 2013, 08:58:13 PM
I purchased MSP430-JTAG-ISO-MK2, and it seems to be significantly slower with CCS5.5 then the TI MSP-FET430UIF, but it is advertised to be faster.  I am using the newly downloaded DLL's (2.007), is there anything I can change to make it faster?

Hello SilverDiamond,

Can you give us some more info about the whole comparison. How the test was performed, what processor/board the test was conducted with, what project did you use, which mode of operation of ISO-MK2 you are referring to (debugger/stand-alone), etc.

We usually use IAR EW for MSP430. Maybe test with it also. They have kickstart and evaluation editions.

Best regards,

It takes about 11 seconds from the time I click the debug button till execute button appears with the TI FET and it takes about 38 seconds with Olmex.  It just that the total time is much longer for the same program.  Is there a way to set the programming speed.  I looked over the manual and did not find how to set it.

Thanks...

Hey SilverDiamond,

Can you tell me what microcontroller you test with? Probably I can try to replicate the timings here.

I've tested CCS 5.5 before and, for sure, it didn't take 38 seconds to debug.
