ARM DS-5 Debugger Command Reference: while

`while`

This command enables you to write scripts with conditional loops that execute debugger commands.

Syntax

while condition
   ...
   optional_commands
   ...
end

Where:

condition

Specifies a conditional expression. Follow the while statement with one or more debugger commands that execute repeatedly while condition evaluates to true.

optional_commands

Specifies optional commands that can also be used inside the while statement to change the loop behavior:

loop_break: Exit the loop.
loop_continue: Skip the remaining commands and return to the start of the loop.

Enter each debugger command on a new line and terminate the while command by using the end command.

Example

Example 162. while

# Define a while loop containing commands to conditionally execute 
# myVar is is a variable in the application code
while myVar<10
    step
    wait
    x
    set myVar++
end
