Not really. I'd like to see how the expressions change in some auto-refresh mode (ie. every 100ms), during runtime debug.

Hi gaston,

With CodeWarrior I can watch varables while the target is running ( Live View for Variables and Memory | MCU on Eclipse ). This is a CodeWarrior specific extension of CDT, and not available in KDS.

CodeWarrior is using a proprietary debugger engine, while KDS is using gdb.

all of above are mentioned in professor Erich's blog:

Comparing CodeWarrior with Kinetis Design Studio | MCU on Eclipse

does this make sense for you?

Have a great day,
Zhang Jun

Hi Zhang,

Okay, thank you for the clarification. This feature will be available in future KDS releases? I don't know if it's supported by gdb.
