CCS: Register View issues in CCS 7.1.0

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1294NCPDT

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I apologize in advance as this is an extremely green question of me, but during a debug session of a simple PWM module code for a Tiva TM4C1294NCPDT (which is correctly selected in my target config file), the Register view shows nothing. Interestingly enough, when I began to explore this option, I had it already open, proceeded to also open the Memory Browser and viola, all registers appeared for some reason that one time, all peripherals, it was as expected. Then, after that instance, nothing. I'm missing a check box somewhere that the help browser assumes it checked or something like that, any ideas...? If it helps I'm currently using Stellaris USB and it's working fine to debug, which is extremely convenient considering I'm having serious JTAG/SWD issues as well...

Thanks in advance,

b

    Ben,

    The registers view should be accessible as soon as you have connected to the device.

    Is the view completely blank?  I can make it do that if I select the project in the debug view.  In the capture above I have the main() function selected in the debug view.  If I change that to be the very top level then the register view will be blank.  Maybe that is what is happening?

    Basically the debug view controls the context of the other views (unless they are pinned to a context).  Clicking on the project clears the context as there could be multiple devices underneath it.

    Regards,

    John

    Hi John,
    I thought it was something like this and when I was toying with it earlier I had tried that while the debugger was running as I surmised something had to point to what was currently running, but it had no effect then. I think on my end it needs to open the viewer after it's up and running (and yes, you nailed it, main() needs to be highlighted). I'm seeing bits now!
    Thanks,

    Great. It takes a bit of time to get used to how the Debug view impacts other views.
