Platform Registers

You can interact with platform registers using the following views:

• Platform Register Dictionary view that lists all registers associated with a particular debug context.

• Platform Register Watch view that allows you to monitor register values during runtime.

• Platform Register Editor view that displays a graphical representation of a particular register.

You can start monitoring the value of a platform register from two views:

  3. Navigate to the register you want to add by expanding the tree or type the register name into the Search field.

  4. Select the register and click OK.
