EmbSys Registers view

The Embedded Systems Registers view enables access to the peripheral registers of the target hardware.

When a debug session is on, the EmbSys Registers view can read and display the actual values of the selected registers. The displayed register values can be exported and imported to/from a text file.
When not in a debug session, the EmbSys Registers panel provides the structured view of the peripheral registers on the target device.

The EmbSys Registers view is included in the Debug perspective by default. If the view was closed, reopen it from the menu by selecting Window > Show View > Other > Debug > EmbSys Registers.

The EmbSys Registers view presents the information about the peripheral registers in a tabular format. The Register field displays the peripheral registers arranged in a hierarchy with the following levels (from top to bottom): a category, a group of registers, a register, a bit (bit number). Any node in the hierarchy can be expanded or collapsed with a double click.

The Description field provides the information about the object shown in the Register field.

The remaining fields are populated for the “register” nodes:

Hex: Displays the value read from the register in the hexadecimal format.
Bin: Displays the same register value in the binary format.
Reset: Displays the reset value of the register in the hexadecimal format, for instance, 0x00000000. A mouse cursor moved over the hex value displays a tooltip with the binary equivalent.
Note: A “zero” value is displayed if the reset value is either set to 0x00000000 or not defined for the register.
Access: Displays access to the register (Read-only, Read-Write, Write-only).
Address: Displays the register address in memory.

Some registers are displayed in the Register field with the “+” sign preceding the register name. These register names are aliases of one register showing the same address in the Address field:

The toolbar of the EmbSys Registers view includes the following buttons (from left to right):

	(EmbSysRegView Project Properties)	Click to open the configuration settings of the EmbSys Registers view in the properties of a project selected in the Project Explorer.
	(Copy selection to clipboard)	Click to copy the Register, Hex, and Address fields from the selected row(s) to the clipboard.
	(Export selection to file)	Click to export values of the selected or all peripheral registers to an XML file. Learn more in Exporting peripheral register values.
	(Import from file)	Click to import values from an XML file and write them to peripheral registers. Learn more in Importing peripheral register values.
	(Collapse All)	Click to collapse all nodes in the EmbSys Registers view.
	(Minimize)	Click to minimize the EmbSys Registers view.
	(Maximize)	Click to maximize the EmbSys Registers view. All other views are minimized and their icons appear at the right border of the main application window, each next to the dedicated Restore icon.
