CCSV5 Saving Debug Data

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28027

Hello,

Is there a way in CCSV5 to save real-time data in system (PC) memory?  Right now when I want to save a lot of real-time data I create an array and just save it in SARAM.  I use the CCS Deubg>Tools>Save command to save the arrays in a file after the data event occurs.  I then use excel to import the data from the file to a spread sheet for analysis.  Of course I am limited with how much I can save.  At the moment with the TMS320F28027 I am limited to 2 x Q24[400] arrays along with my code.  Is there a way that I can save it in some sort of PC based buffer where memory is basically unlimited? I suppose I could use flash memory but this would be a one time event until I erase the flash.

Regards,

Steve Mansfield

  • Steve,

    In CCS, breakpoints have the capability to save memory regions to files on the host PC - check the subsection Managing breakpoints of the Project Debugging chapter of CCSv5 Getting Started Guide. This will allow you to offload memory to the PC whenever the code gets to a certain known place, but keep in mind this is not "real-time" - i.e., a breakpoint will stop the execution of the processor and dump the data to the host.

    Cheers,
