CCS 6.2.0.00050 Variables view reports "unknown register 'pl'" when debugging a TMS320F28069M

When using CCS 6.2.0.00050 to debug a program for a TMS320F28069M in a LAUNCHXL-F28069M noticed that the Variables view was reporting "unknown register 'pl'", rather than the value, for a variable which was in the PL register, which is the "Product Low" register in the C28xx core:

This doesn't prevent debugging but just shows that Variables view doesn't know how to display a variable in one particular C28xx core register.

The project used is attached, which a modified version of a ControlSuite example. 5305.Example_2806xGpioSetup.zip

Edit: The attached example has an bug in the vector_square() function, but such that the bug in my code caused the compiler to allocate the length argument in the PL register which highlighted this issue.

Chester,

Thank you for providing the test case. I can reproduce this and have filed CCSIDE-2969 to track this issue. Please feel free to track it using the SDOWP link in my signature.

Saw this bug in V6 too on more than the PL register, now using V7 but it looks like You did not catch them all. I still see this problem on T register, which is the name of the High part of XT register.

Thank you for reporting this. I have filed another issue to get this fixed for T and other registers, if any.
