5.1.1. Viewing Global Variables

RiscFree* IDE has dedicated global variables.

To view the global variables in the application (.elf), follow these steps:

  1. Go to Window > Show View > Other… > Debug > Global Variables View.
    Figure 37. Global Variables View
  2. To list all available global variables in the application (.elf), in the Global Variables View tab, click the Add Global Variables icon. Select the required variables to view in the Global Variables View.
