CCS/TMS320C6713: Question Marks in Memory Browser

Nusrettin Gulec

Part Number: TMS320C6713

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi all,

I've got a very simple application for the 6713 DSP and I run it through CCS v5.5. All it does it read the value at a memory address and copy it to another one (just next to it). When I connect to the target, I can view the values in those addresses in the memory browser without a problem. However, when I run the program on the target, question marks appear in the memory browser. When I suspend the program, the values come back and it turns out the program has run successfully.

Does anyone have an idea about those question marks in the memory browser during program run on the target? How could I get rid of them and use continuous refresh in the debug mode (supposedly what I intend to use CCS for)?

Thanks in advance.

The TMS320C6713 hardware doesn't support Real-Time Mode

An alternative is to enable "Halt the target before any debugger access (will impact servicing of interrupts)" in the Auto Run and Launch Options which should allow continuous refresh, but has the side-effect that the debugger will halt and then resume the target on every refresh.
