Hi, I'm working with LPC1768 MC & using the MDK simulator. My assembly code is involving strings. When I declare the string in data segment, it doesnt get reflected in memory window during the debug session. But if I declare the string in code segment, it gets reflected in the memory window during the debug session. Can anyone let me know, why this is happening?
I suspect that your memory window configuration is what's causing the issue. If I set the address of the memory window to r2 (which will take the value of register r2), then I see the correct strings when I step through the functions. I modified your code a little to make each function C callable, to better work with my existing project. For example, when stepping through the code, I see the following (once r2 has been set):
Note also that if you want to define a C string you need to add the NULL terminator, e.g.,
string DCB "c string",0
This is explained in the armasm User Guide.
