12.9.1. Examining memory in the Memory pane

To examine the contents of memory in the Memory pane:

  1. Connect to your target (see Connecting to a target).

  2. Load your image (see Loading an executable image), for example, dhrystone.axf.

  3. Select View ? Memory to display the Memory pane as a floating pane, shown in Figure 12.27, if it is not already visible. No memory locations are displayed when you first connect to a target.

  4. Right-click in the address column in the Memory pane to display the context menu.

    Note

    You can also set start addresses using in-place editing.

  5. Select Set Start Address...from the context menu to display the dialog box shown in Figure 12.28.

    Note

    For targets that support TrustZone®, addresses must be prefixed with either S: for Secure memory or N: for Normal memory (for example, S:0x1000).

  6. Enter the required location.

    You can specify the start address as:

    • an address in hexadecimal, for example 0x00088A4

    • a C/C++ expression that RealView Debugger computes to obtain the starting address, for example Int_Glob+64

    • a macro that returns an address, for example thisaddr()

    • any valid expression using constants and symbols.

    You can also use the drop-down arrow to select an expression from a browser or to re-use a value entered previously. The drop-down also gives access to your list of personal favorites where you can store a memory address for re-use in this, or future, debugging sessions.

  7. Click Set to update the Memory pane, shown in Figure 12.29. See Display colors in the Memory pane for a description of the display colors used in the Memory pane.
