CCSTUDIO: the watch window

Add breakpoint question:

When setting a breakpoint while the code is running, it shows up as gray; however, when I pause the execution and insert a breakpoint in the exact same location, it appears as red and works properly.

HI Jenney,

Is it true that the variable order in the Expressions (Watch) window cannot be rearranged in the newer versions of CCS? Is it also impossible to add additional Expressions windows, or dock the window to the bottom or right side?

Yes, this is generally correct. Regarding your last question, note that while you can not drag just the Watch view out by itself, you can move the entire DEBUG view to the bottom or right side. You can do this by dragging an dropping the actual DEBUG icon in the left activity bar to the desired location.

Furthermore, is it true that we cannot insert breakpoints on the fly while the processor is running?

It depends the device. What device are you referring to?

Also, during debugging, how do I command multiple cores to run simultaneously? Currently, I have to manually click '' for each core one by one.

Please see: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_ccs/ccs_debug-main.html#grouping-cores

Please note that there is some issues with group execution on some multicore F28x targets.

Thanks
