GEL文件

gel isstill present in CCSv4. At its heart GEL is the expression evaluator used by the CCS debugger. Everywhere you enter in a start address, variable name or condition on a breakpoint it is using GEL to evaluation that expression.

Changes: In CCSv4 GEL has changed in that as it is part of the CCS debugger and not part of the top level user interface you will not be able to run some of the old GEL functions that accessed the user interface such as GEL_WatchAdd() or the project related functions. However all of the debug related functions will still work.

GEL Startup Files: GEL is still used for target initialization files that you specify in the target setup tool.

GEL Automation: If you are using GEL for automation it is highly recommended that you convert these to debug server scripting scripts, as these scripts are much more robust, predictable and debuggable.  However you can still use your existing GEL automation scripts.

GEL Sliders, Dialogs and Menus: As GEL is in the debugger and the debugger is separated from the GUI interface we do not have the GEL slider, dialog and menu items in beta 1. The good news is that we are adding all of these features in beta 2. One suggestion as a temporary replacement for the dialogs and menu items is to create simple scripting console functions. For example if you had a GEL hotmenu item to reset your peripheral state you could very easily create a scripting console function "resetPeriph" that just called that GEL function. Then you could just type "resetPeriph" from the scripting console. You can even provide help for the function so that people who are not familiar with it can type "help resetPeriph" and get more information on what the function does.

GEL Console Output: In CCSv3.3 GEL_TextOut() output is directed to the GEL tab on the output window or sometimes to a specially named tab if a name was given in the GEL_TextOut() function. In CCSv4 this function still works and the output is shown in the console view. One change here is that all of the output goes to the console view, you cannot ceate a separate tab with a custom name and direct output there.
