This view enables you to:
Modify memory content.
Specify the start address for the Memory view, either as an absolute address or as an expression,
$pc. Previous entries are listed in the drop-down list. This list is cleared when you exit Eclipse.Specify the display size of the Memory view in bytes, either as an offset value from the start address, or as an address held in a register by dragging and dropping the register from the Registers view into the Memory view.
Specify the format of the memory cell values. The default is hexadecimal.
Set the width of the memory cells in the Memory view. The default is four bytes.
Display the ASCII character equivalent of the memory values.
Freeze the selected view to prevent the view being updated by a running target.
The Memory view only provides the facility to modify how memory is displayed in this view. It is not possible to specify the use of byte, half-word, word or double read/write instructions to access memory from the Memory view. To control the memory access width you can use:
the memory command to configure access widths for a region of memory, followed by the x command to read memory according to those access widths and display the contents
the memory set command to write to memory with an explicit access width.
