CCSTUDIO: - TM4C1294NCPDT - Debug Views Broken, Display Values only in mouseover

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1294NCPDT

Tool/software:

CCS Version: 20.3.0.14__1.9.0

Default VS Code API: 1.96.0

Target Device: TM4C1294NCPDT 

Debugger Setup: Orbtrace Mini, SWD Transport, CMSIS-DAP, via Cortex Debug Extension

 

I believe there is a bug in CCS Theia's handling of the debug views. Whether this bug lies in the base Theia image or TI's customization I cannot say at this time. With the setup above I can debug my target in standard VS Code with the same third-party extension and debug probe, however in CCS the debug variable views will show the names of variables but will not render the values of those variables. CCS is properly receiving those values as if I mouse-over any given variable the correct value is shown.

 

Ideal Solutions would be:

1. A fix to CCS that lets the debug views render correctly

and or

2. Support for arbitrary CMSIS-DAP debug probes so that TI's first party debug can function.
