RealView Debugger RTOS Guide: 7.8. Updating your debug view

7.8. Updating your debug view

During your debugging session, use the following views to monitor execution:

The Call Stack view displays the call stack.
The Locals view displays any local, static, and C++ this variables that are in scope.
The Memory view displays the contents of memory and enables you to change those contents. When you first open the view no memory locations are displayed, because no starting address has been specified. If you enter a starting address, values are updated to correspond to the current image status.
The Watch view enables you to view expressions and their current values, or to change existing watched values.

In these views, you can use the view context menu to specify how the contents are updated:

Update Window

If you have deselected the option Automatic Update, you can use this option to update the thread view manually. You can update the display using this option at any time. This enables you to catch any memory updates made externally.

Automatic Update

Updates the display automatically, that is when:

you change memory from anywhere in RealView Debugger
a watched value changes
program execution stops.

This is the default.

Timed Update when Running

If you are in RSD mode, the thread view can be updated at a specified time interval during program execution. Select this option to set this timer according to the update period specified by Timed Update Period.

Timed Update Period

Use this to choose the interval, in seconds, between window updates.

Any value you enter here is only used when the option Timed Update when Running is enabled.
