Hi everybody,

I'm new to the forum and to LPC / cortex devices.

I have the following question:
is it possible to have the emulator / debugger cyclic update the variables in the watchwindow during program operation (without halting or single stepping the program).
I know that this will only be possible for static variables and not for automatic variables.
Which emulation device and/or development environment will be required? I'm currently using LPC-Link and LPCXpresso with a LPC1769.

I've already searched the forum. The only thread I've found was the "Tracking a variable" thread.
Till now I've been working with TI code composer studio and DSP's which have a realtime mode that allows updating variables without interfering realtime program operation.

Thanks in advance!

I've expected this but wanted to be sure.
So I will go for the Red Probe+ and Red Suite
Realtime refreshing of variables realy simplifies development :)

Thanks for your response!

To do this, you will need a Red Probe+ debug probe and the Red Trace functionality of Red Suite 4 (either the Full or NXP editions). This feature is not available in LPCXpresso.
