Real-time emulation is a special emulation feature that allows windows within CCS to be updated while the MCU is running. This feature allows graphs and watch views to update but also allows the user to change values in watch or memory windows and see the effect of these changes in the system without halting the processor.
- Enable real-time mode by hovering the mouse on the buttons on the horizontal toolbar and clicking the button.
- A message box may appear. If so, select YES to enable debug events. This action sets bit 1 (DGBM bit) of status register 1 (ST1) to a 0. The DGBM is the debug enable mask bit. When the DGBM bit is set to 0, memory and register values can be passed to the host processor for updating the debugger windows.
