Hi

I know that eclipse assumes that the target is completely halted if one
thread is stopped. But it doesn't need to be so in a embedded system. Is
there a possibility to invoke a refresh of all values (memory, registers,
variables etc)? Together with a timer this could be used to continuously
show the state of the target, no matter how many threads are stopped or
running.

Thanks

bye Fabi

Do you mean the tracing support?

I don't think so. Tracing support looks like something to debug the
plugins.
But I'm looking for something regular which would be used by the final
application to work with an embedded target. So eclipse/gdb would not only
ask
for registers and stack frames when a thread is stopped but always, like
every
second. To look what the hardware is doing when it is running.

I was asking about tracing in general, not the plugin tracing. And that's
exactly what you want.
gdb has commands to work with catchpoints and the CDI (the internal debugger
interface of CDT) provides the API to work with it. But as far as I know HP
is the only platform that implements the catchpoints support for gdb.

I still don't think so. Catchpoints stop the target when something special
happens and in so far are just a special kind of breakpoints. What I'm
looking
for is getting data from the target without stopping it, even without it
"knowing" that someone is watching. E.g. a global variable is always at the
same memory location. So even if the target and all threads are running it
should
be possible to watch it continuously. But for this eclipse needs to refresh
also while the target is running and not only if a stop occurs.

Thanks
