use the Debugger to examine and modify data

abby — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:22:48 GMT

Hi All,

CodeWarrior has this function: use the CodeWarrior Debugger to examine and modify data

http://www.freescale.com/files/training_pdf/24633_CW_DEBUGGER_DATA_WBT.pdf?lang_cd=ja

Does KDS have this function, too?

Because I can't add variables to variables windows in KDS.

Thanks.

Abby

Hi Abby,

KDS is using Eclipse Kepler, so this applies:

Variable Debugging with Eclipse Kepler | MCU on Eclipse

I hope this helps,

Hi Erich,

Thanks for your reply.

I need to modify variables but not view data only. (when CPU is running)

In KDS, I can add global variables to the expressions but can't modify the value when CPU is running.

The global variables only can be changed value when CPU is halt in KDS.

Hi Abby,

modifying variables while the target is running is a CodeWarrior specific extension, and not supported in stock Eclipse Kepler/CDT as used in Kinetis Design Studio.

See http://mcuoneclipse.com/2014/09/28/comparing-codewarrior-with-kinetis-design-studio/

Do you think that KDS will ever support these features? We switched to Freescale because of the advanced debugging including the ability use trace.

Until CDT will add that functionality, I'm affraid that KDS won't support this.
