Hi Paul, or anyone else that knows: I found it handy from time to time in IAR to set a watch on a GPIO port, P2IN for example, and I'm wondering if there's a way to do this in crossworks besides monitoring a memory location in the memory window. Not a deal breaker, but it would be convenient for me to do this in the same window with some other variables. Thanks! -Micah
Crossworks - Can I watch a GPIO Port?

Hi Micah, Just use Registers window. (there's 4 of them). When you click on the little arrow thingie on top left, you can select/deselect all resources on the current MCU, including P1 ...

Also, BTW, you might be aware that you can change displayed radix, and on an
individual basis, not just a whole window content.
In this case if you eg. right click on P2IN in the used Register Window,
you can display its value in Binary/Octal/Dec/Hex.. etc.
Also note that you can edit the Memory map file and turn it into an even
further customized entry, eg. bit fields if you want (with names of certain
bits),
although that's mostly already done for you.
(You can display the memory map by selecting the project in Project Explorer,
right click, and select "View Memory Map". )
This map displays all MCU resources in a graphical tree manner.
Very handly also when used in conjuntion with Properties window to see the
absolute/raw address etc. info like Size, Start address, Start address symbol,
Size symbol, Name and End address.
The properties displayed adjust as you click on different things on the graphics
of the Memory map window and so on.
Lastly, there is also the (extended) data tips that auto-display while in Debug
as you hover over them in your source window. (also globals etc)
You can access this by :
Tools -> Options -> Dbugger -> general
and you can enable/disable extended data tips in ASCII / Dec / Binary / Hex etc
etc.
You can also set the array element display stuff, max size of array display,
prompt size,
float format and so on...

Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look at the memory map file.. looks like
something I could make use of.
