Can't use symbol name in Memory Browser?

CCS5 Version: 5.1.0.09000 

I am unable to use a symbol name to specify the desired memory location in the Memory Browser in my C5500 application. I was able to do this in my C6000 applications. What's wrong?

    MikeH,

    I am not sure what may be happening, as it works here nicely (check the attached screen).

    Are you sure the function or variable was not optimized out entirely? This may affect the ability to "see" debug symbols in the various views inside the tool...

    Check this post from Ki (there are others but that's the one I found first... :)

    I really can't think of anything else that may be happening in this case... In any case, I will get back to this if I find anything that can be helpful.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Rafael,

    Thanks for taking a look at this problem.

    I have no optimization turned on. I have "Full symbolic debug" enabled.

    Your test screen shows that you can search program memory for a function name. I can do that too. However, I cannot find variables. Can you try this also?

    MikeH,

    I see what may be happening. The Memory Browser is trying to evaluate the expression inserted in its address box, therefore can you try to explicitly type &FilterOutL1 instead? This is particularly finicky with arrays - maybe because the browser can't find a single value to evaluate and display the result.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Yes, this works. 

    Why is this different between C6000 & C5000? In C6000 debugging I just typed the variable name (no &).

    Thanks for taking a look.
