Modifying Register Values

You can modify register values directly in the registers window that displays the register or using a dedicated bitfield-editor, the Modify Register dialog box..

To modify registers :

  1. Select View and choose the window that displays the register you want to edit.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click the register value. This activates in-place editing so that you can directly modify the value in the registers window.
    • Double-click the name of the register you want to edit.
    • Right-click the register you want to edit and select Modify from the pop-up menu.

    The last two options open the Modify Register dialog box.

    This dialog box offers a bitfield-editor displaying the current register value, the register's description and layout and fields to edit the register value.

  3. In the Register Layout field, select the bit group you want to edit.
  4. To modify a value, you can
    • enter a new value into the Register Value or Group Value field or
    • change the value bitwise by clicking editable bits in the register layout field (not available for large bit groups).

  5. Click Set. The modification is applied and the debugger updates the register.

    Note iconNote

    Always click Set to write the edited value to the register. If you click Close, all modifications will be discarded and the register will not be updated.
