Hi ti team
is there any way can i watch my global values being updated in real time instead of pausing it to watch the latest value. I am using the ccs 20.4.1 version

  • Hi Rishabh,

    Yes, this is possible by opening the "Threads" dropdown in the debug panel, right click any of the cores and select "Show All Cores".

    Start the code execution on the Cortex_R5_0 core, then connect to the CS_DAP_0 core to view the variables in real time without needing to pause/suspend the R5 core executing the code.

    You also need to make sure the "Continuous Refresh" function is turned on in the Watch dropdown:

    The CS_DAP "Debug Access Port" provides access to view the variable values instead of relying on the CPU core to read the values which requires the code to be paused as you've noticed.

    Please try this out and let us know if this solution works for you.

    Best Regards,

    Zackary Fleenor
