Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] No source code when debugging using JTAG

[Lukáš Z. <luk...@gm...>]

Hi,
I gave it a look and few minutes of stepping into it and found out that
Registry view is created in the very strange fashion which practically
disallow any add-ons while it is hardcoded and not loaded from
contributions as one would expect from Eclipse Plugin. (My humble
opinion after very short examination).
But I checked how the register data and memory view data are gathered
from the gdb interface and it shouldn't be too hard to use. I will
probably hack the AVR Device Explorer view to reflect selected project
MCU and add once column with value. It seems to be the easiest place to
plug into because there already is a list of registers, its addresses.
Special view can be created later which could cover general purpose
register as well and it would be replacement of the current Registers view.

If anyone has some idea please share. I am happy to create something
what could be useful for the community but I don't have many
opportunities to do so. I will enjoy this one :)

Best Regards

LZ
