17.2.2.6 Refreshing the disassembly view
Even if some external operation changes the memory contents shown in the Disassembly view, the High-performance
Embedded Workshop cannot detect the change. For example, if you use the external flash utility to program the range
of memory being displayed, the Disassembly view will not be reflected.
Right-click on the Disassembly filed (in disassembly mode or mixed mode) and select Refresh.
This acquires the latest information of the data being displayed and updates the contents of the view.
17.2.2.7 Disassembly lock refresh
It is possible to lock a memory range in the disassembly view so that it does not refresh. This function is called the
disassembly "lock refresh".
Right-click on the Disassembly field (in disassembly mode or mixed mode) and select Lock Refresh. The Lock
Refresh dialog box will be displayed.
Check the Locked check box. The controls should now enable.
Select the start and end address that should be locked and cached so that no updates are displayed. Click OK. The view
refreshes to only show the locked area.
17.2.2.8 Looking at a specific address
When you are looking at your program in a Disassembly window, you may want to look at another area of your
program's code. Rather than scrolling through a lot of code in the program, you can go directly to a specific address.
