Is there a way to use a GEL file to print out the current program counter for the connected chip?

Also where is the documentation that shows all the different GEL functions that are available?

Thanks

Try:

GEL_TextOut("PC: %x ",,,,,PC);

In CCS 3.x, it is under Help->Contents menu (search for GEL in the search tab)

In CCS 4.x, it is under Help->Help Contents menu (search for GEL)

Another follow up:

Is there a way to get the GEL to clear the output window on connecting? Thanks

I don't think there is any GEL call to clear any of the output windows. Sorry.

How about in CCS4x?

Sorry, there is no way to do this in GEL in CCS4 or CCS5 either.

Not sure where we can put in feature requests for something like that, but a ClearOutput function would be nice, especially since in CCS3 the output window didnt auto-scroll to the bottom when new text appeared.

In CCSv4.x, there is no ClearOutput function, however there are two toolbar buttons in the console, one to clear the output and one to lock the text scroll.
