Hi
I use CB 16.01 on xubuntu 15.10 to develope and debug code for AVR8s. This has prooven to be very stable when using avrdude, avarice and atmels own avr-gcc tool package with avr-gdb together with jtagice-mk2 debugger.
However, there is one problem that needs an solution. CB has no clue of the special function registers, or pheripheral registers if you like, thus I can not view easily the content of the timer registers or ADC and such.
I am currently trying to figure out how to eventually write a plugin that adds this feature based on atmels own peripheral register file description, a xml file that is part of Atmel studio. The plugin would then ask for such a file (a setting in the project setup) and based on its content (special for each chip) provide a window under the "debug window" menu much like the CPU registers debug window so that one may read and write to these registers easily.
But, for all I know, there might be an solution for this already somewhere, so I would be glad to hear your experiences for debugging with access to pheripheral registers. How are you dealing with this today?
