KDS Register View

[Toe]

Does KDS have a view that shows all of the registers in the MCU like CodeWarrior?  The register tab in the debug perspective only shows "General Registers", I find that the GPIO/ADC/etc registers are helpful when getting a new piece of code that isn't working properly up and running.  Is this implemented under a setting that I've missed?

I have KDS 3.2.0 and didnt realise it was "already there", anyway, I installed Erich's update, copied the files over, but I have no KL27 support? I can see the KL27 file in the directory C:\Freescale\KDS_v3\eclipse\Freescale\MKL27Z4.xml but it does not come up

Hi Erich, I tried to setup register view in KDS 3.0, however this link is broken:

http://embsysregview.sourceforge.net/

Is there another way to do it?

Hi Mike,

sometimes sourceforge takes pages down for a short period of time for maintenance, it looks it is the case here now. I expect that the page should be back soon.

But as David pointed out: that plugin already comes installed in KDS v3.0.0, so no need to download it.

Hi Mike,

The KDS_3.0 has the EmbSys Registers view already installed.  No need to install it manually.

With the Debug Perspective, Window->Show View->Other...    Then select Debug->EmbSys Registers to see the window.

David

Than you very much!

Hi All, I too would like to know what "Unpack the archive files over your ‘eclipse’ folder." means and how exactly that is done. Can anybody tell me the steps? Thanks in advance. Mark

[DavidS]

Hi Mark,

Unpack means to open the zip file and store the contents into the "C:\Freescale\KDS_2.0.0" folder as the top level folder in the zip file is "eclipse" and its subfolders and files will be copied into the "C:\Freescale\KDS_2.0.0\eclipse" path.

Regards,

David

Hi Erich,

I have refer to your tutorials (How to Add Register Details View in Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse) did step by step , and also

Updated Eclipse EmbSysReg Viewer with extra Freescale SVD Files . while in my kds ,it still can't check the freescale' products.

"Unpack the archive files over your ‘eclipse’ folder." can you tell me what's the meaning of this words ? and put the "FSL_SVD_Patch V0.3 for EmbSysReg" to where ?  I put it here :

it doesn't work ,then i put them to here :

it still can't work .

What should I  do ?

Hi Linda,

The zip file contains an eclipse folder with features and plugins:

You need to unpack these files and place it over your existing eclipse folder of KDS:

it will replace a few files and add all the new CMSIS-SVD files.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hi Erich,

Thank for your quick reply.

And i did refer to your blog , while i haven't clearly this words

wheter   do like this   "delete the eclipsee of KDS , then copy the eclipse of  FSL_SVD_Patch V0.3 for EmbSysRegV0.2.4  to the KDS "  ?

Linda

Hi Linda,

do not delete anything. Unpack the files over your existing eclipse folder.

Erich

[eli_hughes]

Are there plans to just integrate this package into KDS?

[BlackNight]

Yes, this is planned for v3.0.0

[w2vy]

Will this work ok with KDS 2.0?

Tom

[BlackNight]

Hi Tom,

simple answer: yes, it works the same way in KDS 2.0.0 :-)

Erich

[Fan_xy]

Hi Erich,

Yes , I unpack the file .

Do you meaning "delete the eclipsee of KDS , then copy the eclipse of  FSL_SVD_Patch V0.3 for EmbSysRegV0.2.4  to the KDS "  ?

[BlackNight]

No, do *not* delete the eclipse folder of KDS. Simply copy the eclipse folder of the zip file over your existing eclipse folder.

Hi Ryan,

no, you are not missing anything. That CodeWarrior peripheral register view is CodeWarrior specific, and not part of KDS :-( .

However, I managed to this for my FRDM-K64F board:

Unfortunately to get there, it requires some plugin tweaking. I have it running for the K64F and that works fine for me.

Let me know what board/device you are using.

If there is any interest, then I could write up an article how this can be done.
