Hi Fang,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The problem isn't on the Host side, it is on the device side. When I try to select JTAG on processor expert freemaster component I get a message saying ERROR: This item isn't supported by selected CPU. Please see the image below

I also have a related question. I attempted to add the freemaster component on my mqxlite application via UART0 but that did not work either. I added the component as per the link below and then added the following methods to one of my tasks:
void free_master_task(uint32_t task_init_data)
{
int counter = 0;
while(1) {
counter++;
FMSTR1_Poll();
FMSTR1_Recorder();
_time_delay_ticks(10);
/* Write your code here ... */
}
}

Note: If I create a project that is not an MQX lite project, I able to graph data correctly using freemaster using UART0.
Appreciate the help,
Abid
