Can one mask breakpoint triggered file input?

Hello,

Currently I am using breakpoint triggered file input in order to set up my test conditions every SW cycle.  With the TI-Format dat file however, it appears that I can only insert values for the entire data type (i.e. hex, integer, long, float).  What I would like to do (specifically for the hex data input type), is apply a masking operation to the values being input so that certain cycles I can affect only specific bits, and others none at all.  Is this possible?  It doesn't appear to be, however I thought I'd best check with the experts before giving up!

Thanks,

  • Joshua,

    Unfortunately this is not possible directly using any built-in functionality of the tool.

    I imagine you could run a GEL script that does a GEL_MemorySave, apply the bitmask and then and then do a GEL_MemoryLoad (both the CCS help and this page have some details).

    I will think about other alternatives and reply here if I come up with something useful.

    Regards,
