This was already mentioned as a bug in the CCS 4.10:

http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/dsps/hotline/techbits/c3bug.htm#SDSsq09909

SDSsq09909: floating point values are not correctly displayed in watch
window (v4.10)

TI prompts to downoload a service pack to fix it.

Andrew

Dear All,

I am using C31 Target board with CCS 4.10. I had written a routine which
calculate the square root of given number and stored the result in to memory
location (defined as .bss and is in internal RAM). If I select to view hex (TI
32 bit Hex) value, it showed me the correct result. But if I choose to display
in either 32-bit floating point or 32-bit exponential floating point it doesn't
show me correct result. Why is that...? Same is happening with Watch Window....

Is it that CCS Memory View and Watch Window doesn't support format... Thanks in advance,
