No option for hardware watchpoint in CCSv6 with CC3200 Launchpad

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Greetings,

I am in the process of following a set of TI lab exercises for the CC3200 launchpad and Code Composer Studio Version 6.

One of the exercises instructs me to create a 'Hardware Watchpoint', however, the only option that I am seeing under the breakpoint menu is 'Breakpoint'.

Am I missing something obvious or is this a limitation of the hardware I am using?

Thanks,

Nathaniel.

  • Hi Nathaniel,

    Your device should support it.

    You should be able to set a HW BP in two ways:

    1) right-click in the editor margin:

    2) Via the breakpoints view:

    Are you missing the Hardware Breakpoint option in each case? If so, can you send be screenshots of what you see?

    Thanks

  • I see that you are asking about Hardware Watchpoint, not Hardware Breakpoint. The screenshots are still relevant as you can see the Hardware Watchpoint options is just below the Hardware Breakpoint options I highlighted.

  • Problem solved. I was in the CCS Edit perspective instead of the CCS Debug perspective. Thanks Ki, your screenshots helped me figure it out.

    When you are in the CCS Edit perspective, the only available breakpoint option is Breakpoint. Once I switched to the CCS Debug perspective, the other options became available.

    Thanks,

    Nathaniel.
