This view enables you to:
See the contents of target registers.
Change the values for registers that have write access. When a register value changes, the register value background changes to yellow.
Change the display format of register values. You can view and edit some registers, such as Program Status Registers (PSRs), as individual bits.
Freeze the selected view to prevent the values being updated by a running target.
Drag and drop an address held in a register, such as
$R3, from the Registers view either into the Memory view to see the memory at that address, or into the Disassembly view to disassemble from that address.
Right-click on the column headers to select the columns that you want displayed:
- Name
The name of the register.
Use
