Trace32 - reading ASCII from memory into macro/variable

I would like to know the proper way of reading a memory chunk which is plain ASCII into a variable (Practice macro). This is apparently possible for simple integer types, with Data.Long(). However, conversion to ASCII would be cumbersome.

I tried finding this in Lauterbach manuals but in this area they are quite misleading, mixing visualization in UI with data processing. I do not need this in the UI. I only need this string in a variable for further processing.

Solution

  • Use the Data.STRING() function to store zero-terminated strings into a PRACTICE macro:

    &text=Data.STRing(<address>)
