Debug Variable Expression View Data Format

davidzhou — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 20:05:16 GMT

Hi,

I have K60Tower board: _K60P144M150SF3RM, with MQX4.2 version, and CodeWarrior 10.6.4 Version

During debug if the program execution is stopped at a break point, hovering mouse over a variable, the debugger will display the value of the variable. But it seems always default the format to string. So it shows unreadable characters for an integer variable. I changed to Hexdecimal as follows:

This is from the webpage: Debugging Variables in Hexadecimal with Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse

But it doesn't have any effect. What have I missed and how to set global default format to hexadecimal ?

Thank you,

David Zhou

Have a great day,

Hi Jennie,

I tried this morning again. Opened Project, confirmed the setting is hexadecimal, and run, it was still showing unreadable characters.

Then I opened another work-space, and the setting is in default. Changed to hexadecimals. Created a test project. it shows integer.

Then I went back to the first project ( The project was not closed.) And it still showed unreadable characters. I went into Windows/Preferences, the toggled it default, APPLY, then toggled back to hexadecimal. Then run the project. It shows integers.

I went a little further . I opened another old project work-space, and it was set to all Defaults (not hexadecimals), and added a new project into the work-space, it shows integers. I changed to hexademical. It still displays as integer values.

So there is some issue with metadata of the project and/or with the Apply of the settings.

But it works.

Thank you,

David Zhou
