Fill Memory

NOTE By default, the History combo box displays the most recent
settings on subsequent viewings.
Memory Type Combo Box
The memory types that can appear in the Memory Type Combo box are:
• P:Memory (Program Memory)
• X:Memory (Data Memory)
Address Text Field
Specify the address where you want to write the memory. If you want it to be
interpreted as hex, prefix it with 0x; otherwise, it is interpreted as decimal.
Size Text Field
Specify the number of words to write to the target. If you want it to be interpreted as
hex, prefix your entry with 0x; otherwise, it is interpreted as decimal.
Fill Expression Text Field
Fill writes a set of characters to a location specified by the address field on the target,
repeatedly copying the characters until the user-supplied fill size has been reached.
Size is the total words written, not the number of times to write the string.
Interpretation of the Fill Expression
The fill string is interpreted differently depending on how it is entered in the Fill String
field. Any words prefixed with 0x is interpreted as hex bytes. Thus, 0xBE 0xEF
would actually write 0xBEEF on the target. Optionally, the string could have been set
to 0xBEEF and this would do the same thing. Integers are interpreted so that the
equivalent signed integer is written to the target.
ASCII Strings
ASCII strings can be quoted to have literal interpretation of spaces inside the quotes.
Otherwise, spaces in the string are ignored. Note that if the ASCII strings are not
quoted and they are numbers, it is possible to create illegal numbers. If the number is
illegal, an error message is displayed.
