[Mspgcc-users] GDB and JTAG causing timer interrupt problems

[k . smith]

Hi, 

I am using a Softbaugh FETP and having the following problem. 

If I build my code and execute it without the debugger everything is fine.  
If I step through the code using GDB I find that the timer interrupts only 
occur once.  After that nothing.  I can manually set the interrupt flag 
again by poking into memory and this causes the ISR to execute, but the 
interrupt flag will never get set automatically after the first time.  If I 
kill the debug session then the code again operates without error. 

I have seen a post on the MSP430 Yahoo group with the same problem but there 
was no resolution given. 

Any help appreciated.
