Adding a Watchpoint with condition in CCS5

Yousf Badr

In CCS5.4, you can add a breakpoint with condition; which means the breakpoint action will not be executed unless this condition is met.

How can I do this for a watchpoint? I can't see the field named 'condition'

Hi Yousf,

what target do you use? Can you explain what you are trying to do/the context here?

Typically a watchpoint is used with data .. ie when a variable reaches a certain value.

I am using dm814 (ARM, DSP, 2 M3) using spectrum digital XDS510 debugger. I want to put a watch point when the variable reaches a certain value AND another expression evaluates to true.

In the first screenshot, I added a breakpoint which will break when the code reaches this address and the expression (x==1) is evaluated to true.

In the watchpoint, I want the watchpoint to break when the variables is modified and the expression (x==1) is evaluated to true. [Note that x is not out watch point expression].

Hi Yousf,

you have the flexibility, however on arm there are some stricter rules which you are seeing in the implementation.

This site has an explanation of the settings I hope will help.
