I set a watch point in Red Suite 4 to stop execution on a write to a variable. I got an error message when I started execution again.

15: Target error from Set break/watch
Unable to set a watchpoint - no resource available

I am running on a LPC2368. Doesn't this processor support data write breakpoints?

How many watch points have you set? You may try delete some other watch points if you have too many of them.

The number of breakpoints and watchpoints is determined by the resources on the processor you are using. An ARM7 allows a maximum of 2 in total. See

I can set 2 breakpoints but I can not set any watchpoints. I did not have any breakpoints set and attempted to set one watchpoint. Does the LPC2368 support 2 breakpoints and no watchpoints?

When I add a variable to Watch Expression and change its FORMAT to say DECIMAL, then when I run the program in STEP by STEP mode, the format stays the same. But when I let the code run (F8) and the breakpoint is hit the FORMAT of that variable is changed back to HEX.

Can this be fixed somehow ?

I know I can change global format. I was writing about the issue that the FORMAT of 'individual variable' changed during debug session is NOT kept after pressing F8 (run) when program then stopped at any breakpoint. This is a bug and I was hoping that it would be fixed some day.
