Is it possible to get a gdb console while debugging in LPCXpresso, so I can use my own gdb commands/scripts? I tried unchecking "launch in background" but that didn't help.

I see documentation in the LPCXpresso help about watchpoints (break on access to memory) but I don't see the menu options anywhere in the IDE. Is this feature not included?

You can access gdb directly through the console view of the IDE.

Switch to "MCU Debug log" using the terminal-like "Display selected console" icon in to the right of the view to see what gdb commands are being issued.

Switch to the "arm-none-eabi-gdb" console using the "terminal" icon to enter gdb commands yourself.

If you want to have one or both of these visible constantly, then use the "Open console" icon, then switch the new console to the console type that you want.

Couple of simple ways to set a watchpoint are as follows.

[LIST=1]
[*]Select the Breakpoint view (normally a tab next to the Quickstart panel), right click, then select "Add watchpoint" and enter the address or expression.
[*]Select the Variables view, select a global variable that you have previously added to the view, right click and select "Add watchpoint".
