KDS with GDB debugger - View expressions in real time view

info27 — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 10:24:21 GMT

I am using KDS V3.2.0 for Kinetis K64 and would like to view expressions in real time without defining breakpoints or watchpoints to prevent stopping the program. In an old ticket there was an article about CodeWarrior but nothing regarding KDS. Is there a possibility for KDS available now?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,

no, this is not possible in KDS. But I'm using the approach descibed in https://mcuoneclipse.com/2015/07/14/automatic-variable-expression-and-memory-display-with-gdb-and-eclipse/ .

The other thing I'm using in addition to this (if you have a Segger probe) is the J-Scope (see SEGGER - The Embedded Experts - J-Scope )

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hi Erich,

sorry for my late response. Thanks a lot - I'm using the J-Scope and it works - not perfect but it works.

To get it more "comfortable" in KDS, the integrated "real time view" as known from other IDEs would be very helpful in terms of handling since the J-Sopce solution has some restrictions and has to be handled separately. Is the integration of "real time view" planned and do you know a rough schedule?

Many thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

in case you have missed it or are not following the McuOnEclipse blog: P&E has released a plugin for KDS and Eclipse/GDB which implements this 'real time view' :-):
