Data Breakpoint CCS 5.3.0 TMS570

Hi,

CCS 5.3.0.00090

I must be being a bit thick, but I can't see how to set a breakpoint an a RAM data location being written/read.

Please help!

Regards, Tony.

  • Hi Tony,
    In the breakpoint window, right click on a blank row then select  Breakpoint (Code Composer Studio), Hardware Watchpoint.

    Set the address in the Location box and select Read or Write.

    Various other parameters, such as the width in bits, can be set by right clicking the breakpoint and selecting Breakpoint Properties.

    Regards,

  • Hi Tony,

    No every device supports data breakpoint (Watchpoint). For the device that supports data breakpoint, there are number of ways that you can set a data breakpoint.

    1) In the Breakpoints view by selecting one of the Watchpoint option from the toolbar, using the blue icon drop down arrow option.
    2) In the Breakpoints view, right click on the view to bring up the context menu and select Watchpoint option in the "Breakpoint (Code Composer Studio)" menu item.
    3) From the source editor, highlight the global and right click to bring up the context menu. Same option as #2.
    4) From the main window toolbar, there should be a breakpoint toolbar item. And works the same way as #1.
