Hi everyone, My name is Quang and I've just subscribed recently to this list. I'm a student at the University of Technology, Sydney. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any known problems or issues with regards to using the Watch Window to monitor local variables in a DSP program that is running? I'm using CCS v1.23, and a C6711 DSK. There's this variable that I am trying to monitor that should only ever have two values - 0 or 1. When this variable is local, I often see strange values appear for this variable when I refresh the Watch Window (e.g. xxxx). If however, I make the variable GLOBAL instead, then I don't seem to have this problem. Do I have to do anything special in order to Watch local variables correctly? It seems pretty pointless to me if it can only be used to monitor global variables. Thanks, Quang |

Hi Quang Get the address of the variable [Will be on stack as this is a local variable] Check that memory location in memory window. Never worked on C6x but had same problem on C55. Problem was the watch window always try to locate data on the first page of C55 memory. Hope this helps.
