Hello, I’ve just started using PIO and ran into some problems. Some details
PIO version 4.3.3 / 3.2.2
Platform: timsp430
Framework: Arduino
Problem 1: compile flags. Solved this by adding (debug_build_flags = “-O0”, “-g3”, “-ggdb” “-gdwarf-2”) in platformio.ini. It was complaining about -Og. I can download the program fine.
Problem 2: While trying to debug, I get the following error.
MSP430_OpenDevice
MSP430_GetFoundDevice
Device: F20x2_G2x2x_G2x3x (id = 0x0035)
2 breakpoints available
MSP430_EEM_Init
Chip ID data:
ver_id: 01f2
ver_sub_id: 0000
revision: 30
fab: 40
self: 0000
config: 02
Device: F20x2_G2x2x_G2x3x
Bound to port 2000. Now waiting for connection…
.pioinit:11: Error in sourced command file:

This is where I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions?

I’m running on macOS Catalina with a TI Launchpad MSP-EXP430G2 w/ MSP430G2553 and a modified kernel extension. The kernel extension works because when I run mspdebug outside of platformio, it successfully communicates with the launchpad (break, step, and run make the factory blink program stop and start as expected) although I have yet to download a program using either. I am not using arduino or energia (I intend to use native), so my main.cpp program is just:
int main() {}
I get a similar error:

I get the same error using mspdebug v0.24 and v0.25 (latest) refuses to connect to the launchpad at all.
I don’t want to hijack the thread, but this seemed the right place to put this since it’s the most recent thread on the topic.
—EDIT—
One further note I just discovered, everything works fine when just uploading using the same configuration except adding upload_protocol = rf2500 to the platformio.ini (meaning a program downloaded and ran successfully). It seems to be a problem with just debug mode.
Interesting, so a new version of mspdebug should fix the problem for all used GDB versions? The issue 78 is still open though, was the fix ever merged?
