Can the Expressions window of CCES monitor and refresh variables while the simulation is running?

Hi,

An expression is a snippet of code that can be evaluated to produce a result. The context of an expression depends on the particular debug model. Some expressions may need to be evaluated at a specific location in the program so that the variables can be referenced.

Use the Expressions view to inspect data from stack frames, threads, and other places in Emulation as well as Simulation modes. To add the Expressions view to the current perspective, choose Window > Show View > Other >Debug > Expressions and click OK.

Please note that, When execution of a program is suspended, all expressions are re-evaluated.

You can monitor the contents of the current value of expression by step through a program. Hence, CCES currently doesn't have the ability to view variables/memory without halting the DSP.

For more details on the capabilities of debugging, please refer the below CCES help page:
CrossCore® Embedded Studio 2.x.x > Integrated Development Environment > Debugging Executable Files > About Debugging Capabilities

Hope It will help you!
