I may just reinstall everything. Certain memory locations seem to be updating, just not the variables that I initiated (at 0x200 and 0x202), although they do show up in the IAR c-spy as expected. I will try to reinstall to a new directory, maybe it's related to the fact that I just recently recompiled (with cygwin) the msp-libc, gcc 3.2.3, and bin-utils from CVS, and dropped the files into the already installed directory. :) I didn't recompile the gdb/insight stuff though. Maybe it calls for a recompile of everything, I'm just sort of lazy :) , plus I have a modem connection at home and at work the manager is always making micromanaging rounds :) . Thanks, and I think insight seems to have everything the IAR $3000 version has, at least what I would need from it :) . --D http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Search - Looking for more?
