Not able to change contents of I2CRB of MSP430 - Narottam - 2006-02-02 04:23:00

Hello All,

  I am using IAR C/C++ compiler for MSP430. In the project I am sending
some data through MSP430 to another chip through I2C.I have made MSP430 
as slave. While debugging I want to change manually the contains of I2CRB
through register window,but its not allowing me to do,again the contains
will come to its default value. I found in the header file supplied with
the IAR package of MSP430,they made I2CRB as READ_ONLY.
   Is there any reason to do so? If not then how can I change the contains
of I2CRB register while debugging?

Thanks in advance.

Please be more specific. What is the chip you're using. MSP430 is a group of 
microcontrollers from Texas Instruments, and not all of them have a I2C 
interface. Some have a software I2C through SPI/UART, some have a hardware 
I2C.

State the precise chip name and perhaps we can help you more.

Regards,
Antti Keskinen

I am using msp430F155.

Hey again !

To independently set something in the MSP430F155, it seems you need to use 
the JTAG interface. Since you're debugging, I can only assume you have a 
JTAG connection set up with the device already and the IAR environment is 
monitoring this interface somehow. Have a look at the following document:

http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/slaa149a/slaa149a.pdf

In it, chapter 3.3 on page 18 explains how to read and write to non-FLASH 
locations on the chip using the JTAG connectivity. If this is not viable for 
you, then the next best solution I can think of is to write a debug routine 
into the I2C master chip which writes the desired debug data into the 
MSP430.

Hope this helps.
