Hi,
I have two questions.
1) Does the target get reflashed every time the debugger is connected or only if the downloaded image has been changed?
2) How do I get the debugger to display the value of static variables?
for instance in the block below from main_AP.c in eZ430-RF2500 example code, if I set a breakpoint on
(SMPL_SUCCESS == SMPL_Receive(sLID[i], msg, &len))
the debugger stops OK but I cannot read either the value of the local variable i or or the static sNumCurrentPeer, although other variables are displayed OK.
if
(sPeerFrameSem)
{
uint8_t msg[MAX_APP_PAYLOAD], len, i;
/* process all frames waiting */
(i=0; i<sNumCurrentPeers; ++i)
{
if
(SMPL_SUCCESS == SMPL_Receive(sLID[i], msg, &len))
Thanks in advance for any help,
John.
Hi John,
I appologise for missing a couple pieces of your enquiry.
First of all, yes you should be able to "hover" over a variable in CCS in order to see the value.
There is an option in CCS to "debug without download". There are a few options. See the screen shots attached. There is "load symbols only", "retain unchanged memory" as well you can tell it not to automatically reload if the file changes. This is under Window->Preferances->CCS. Unlike IAR I do not believe there is a pure "Debug without download" button.
What example is that from? Is it the sensor monitor program? I want to try to reproduce things here.
Best Regards,

Hi John,
I believe I have a solution for you. I basically experienced the same thing. So I found that even with the settings we have been using, when I further investigated, optimization was still on to a level and some of the variables (ones not shown) were being put in registers by the optimization. Hence why we were not seeing them.
So things should work for you if you turn optimization fully off. You can do this by selecting the blank option in two spots as shown in my screenshot below. Project->Build Options->Basic Options.
Please give this a try and keep me informed.
Best Regards,
Lisa
