What do you want to do?

The SFR Setup window is available from the Debug menu.

SFRSetup_win_32-bit_Qt_01.png

This window displays the currently defined SFRs that C-SPY has information about. You can choose to display only factory-defined or custom-defined SFRs, or both. If required, you can use the Edit SFR dialog box to customize the SFR definitions, see Edit SFR dialog box. For factory-defined SFRs (that is, retrieved from the ddf file in use), you can only customize the access type.

To quickly find an SFR, drag a text or hexadecimal number string and drop in this window. If what you drop starts with a 0 (zero), the Address column is searched, otherwise the Name column is searched.

Any custom-defined SFRs are added to a dedicated register group called Custom, which you can choose to display in the Registers window. Your custom-defined SFRs are saved in projectCustomSFR.sfr. This file is automatically loaded in the IDE when you start C-SPY with a project whose name matches the prefix of the filename of the sfr file.

You can only add or modify SFRs when the C-SPY debugger is not running.

Requirements

Can be used with all C-SPY debugger drivers and debug probes.

Display area

This area contains these columns:

Status

A character that signals the status of the SFR, which can be one of:

blank, a factory-defined SFR.

C, a factory-defined SFR that has been modified.

+, a custom-defined SFR.

?, an SFR that is ignored for some reason. An SFR can be ignored when a factory-defined SFR has been modified, but the SFR is no longer available, or it is located somewhere else or with a different size. Typically, this might happen if you change to another device.

Name

A unique name of the SFR.

Address

The memory address of the SFR.

Zone

Selects a memory zone, see C-SPY memory zones.

Size

The size of the register, which can be any of 8, 16, 32, or 64.

Access

The access type of the register, which can be one of Read/Write, Read only, Write only, or None.

You can click a name or an address to change the value. The hexadecimal 0x prefix for the address can be omitted, the value you enter will still be interpreted as hexadecimal. For example, if you enter 4567, you will get 0x4567.

You can click a column header to sort the SFRs according to the column property.

Color coding used in the display area:

  • Green, which indicates that the corresponding value has changed

  • Red, which indicates an ignored SFR.
