General Register modification during debug possible ?

[NGOLA.1]

Is-it possible during a debug session to modify general registers (e.g r3 ) .

Context: Win 7 host with Virtual Box 6.0.4 for client Ubuntu 18.04 running STM32CubeIDE 1.2.0 on the integrated debugger of the Nucleo demoboard with STM32F412ZG

Help Center tells:

"In the Registers view, right-click a register and click Change Register Value."

but the screenshot below ( french version ) shows cut/copy/paste/delete/select all/ and the last but not the least "Insert an Emoji" ! ( after right click around the register value)

After a right click on the register name r3 I have a english menu this time !

Modification through "Watch" is also not possible.

Colleagues told me it was possible with Attolic to modify general registers during debug.

Many thanks in advance for any hints

Indeed it works but you have to make a "Paste" with the modified value. It is not very convenient...

With other Eclipse-based IDEs, one often has to double-click on the (register) value.

No, double-click does not work for me. No sign of an "edition mode" available.

The debugger functionality seems very specific, even with very similar looking Eclipse IDEs.

I use CCS (TI) and Tasking VX (C166 derivates) who both support the mentioned method.

Double-click at the level just opens an input field with the current value as default.

I agree that this is generally the case. I worked with other Eclipse base IDE for other embedded µCs and double-click change was common. Now here I do not know if it is a limitation of STM32CubeIDE 1.2.0 or if it is a side effect of my configuration.

The limitation was not only on General Registers but also on any place where you can modify a value ( variable or registers ...)

The same problem was seen also on the recently released 1.3.0

BUT I discovered that the blinds were blissful !!

You can modify whatever you want:

*Just click with the mouse on the left side on the value

*type blindly as many figures you want and then hit the ENTER key !

if a value is 123 and you want it to be 5, click on the left of the 1 and type SPACE SPACE 5 and hit enter !

Any comments by ST reps ???? :-((

Hello.

In 1.4.2 it does not work even for blinds. I was trying to change SP register, no luck. Even in debugger console set $sp=(void *) 0x200000a8 does not work.
