Fill Memory not working in CCS v6.1.0.00104

I am trying to fill up memory locations in a stack to measure stack usage. I found a previous question having a similar problem. From it I discovered that the length input is expected as a hexadecimal input without the "0x" prefix. but when I give an input that has an alphabetical character in it (such as "2A8") an error window pops up which says "invalid length". Also, if I give the same input with the "0x" prefix (0x2A8), no error window pops up. The dialog box disappears but nothing actually happens to the memory.

  • Hi William,
    There were a few issues with the Memory Fill utility that was fixed post-6.1.0. I believe it now supports both decimal and hex input. Hex input would need to be preceded by "0x". If it is not, it will be interpreted as decimal (and a potential "invalid length" error since input with letters would not be considered a valid decimal input). It seems to work fine with my 6.1.3 installation. Can you update your CCS version?

    thanks
