CCS5.1 Memory Browser with F28335

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

With CCS5.12 installed on top of Eclipse/Indigo as plug-in, Memory Browser shows only a half of 16-bit value.

For instance, address 0x0100 has data 0x1234, and 0x0101 has data 0xABCD.  In this case, these two are combined only by taking 8-bit, and shows value at address 0x0100 being 0x34CD. 

Any special setup to make the memory browser aware that the addressing is 16-bit base?

Saving memory snapshot to *.dat file works fine, as expected.   Also disassembler window works OK.  Only Memory Browser UI is strange.

I'm using standard GEL file for F28335 from installation. 

Any advise is highly appreciated.

  • Nomura-san,

    There should be a drop-down menu in the Memory view where you can change the addressing format. Is it properly set to 16-bit?

  • How come this happen. .. I don't have the pull-down menu, as you see below. 

    My installation is as follows (as much as I remember).

    OS=Win7/64bit

    JRE version

       java version "1.6.0_31"

       Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b05)

       Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode)

    Eclipse Indigo (I think I used 64bit version, ,but not sure now).

    CCS 5.12 install as plug-in to existing Eclipse. 

    Selected components :  C2x, SysBios/DspBios, SpectrumDigital emulator. 

    Any idea on how this could happen? 

  • One mistake.  CCS version is 5.2, the latest. 

  • I tried on 2nd machine with completely different environment (e.g., 2nd PC is Ubuntu, not Win7).

    Initially, I reproduced the problem.  After clicking "New Tab" in Memory Browser, the pull-down showed up all  of a sudden ! 

    Since then, I can see the pull-down all the time. 

    I will try this on the primary PC tomorrow at office. 

    Regards,

    For this second machine, was CCS also installed as a plug-in to an existing Eclipse installation?

  • Hi HIroshi,

    You are using the Traditional memory rendering, which is the default for existing eclipse install (CCS plugin mode). This is the standard CDT memory rendering and does not have the datatype selection that Ki mentioned. You can switch to use TI memory rendering within the Memory browser window. Select the little triangle drop down at the top right of the Memory browser view and then 'Default Rendering | Memory Rendering'. Now open a new tab, you should be able to see the datatype selection drop down list.

    Regards,
    Patrick

  • Patrick, 

    Thank you very much.  I did not notice the "New Tab" was the key!.  I placed with the little triangle, but did not pressed New Tab button. 

    Now it works fine both on my primary and 2ndary PC. 

    Best Regards,
