How to set multi conditional hardware breakpoints or Watch Points inCCS 5 and from where I can access Watch window

Hi All,

I want to know that in Code Composer Studio Version 5 from where I can access Watch Window, I tried to search this information but it is showing for older version’s not for CCS5.

Is it possible to set multi conditional hardware breakpoints or Watch Points? If yes then how to set those. 

I am currently working on TM4C129DNCPDT board and XDS200 debugger.

Thanks,

Archana

  • The reason I wanted to know about watch window is in previous versions the breakpoint and watch window both are the different things, so I wanted to know about watch window to check whether it is possible to set multi conditional watch points with the help of that.
    Thanks,Archana
  • Archana,

    Sorry about the late reply, this thread was somehow missed.

    The view for watching variables in CCSv5 is the Expressions view.

  • Arti,

    Thanks,for the details you shared. But the link you shared doesn't talk of the multiconditional break point.

    I wanted to know whether it is possible to set multiconditional break points eg. if I need to break for a situation where value for 2 different memory location is getting changed (or those memory locations are having specific value)  For Example (( HWREG(0x100)  ==  10) && (HWREG(0x200) == 20)) In this example i want to break when hardware register 0x100 has a value '10' and hardware register 0x200 has a value '20' both at the same instance of time.

    I hope it is clear now what i am looking for. Any idea of to achieve this?

    Thanks,

    Archana

    There isn't a way to set multiconditional breakpoints the way you desire. You can set multiple watchpoints each with its own condition but even that is limited to the hardware resources available on the device, so only a certain number of hardware breakpoints, watchpoints, etc can be set before you run out of resources.
