Working with Memories I needed a way to watch contents faster than saving data to file.
So I implemented a basic memory viewer for RAM/ROM, I2C RAM/ROM and MCU EEPROM.

Feel free to give it a try and enjoy the new bugs... Wink

Memory viewer. I2c-ra10

Nice addition. It would be even more useful if the table also shows the ascii characters (when printable), eg the output of 'hexdump -C [file]:

Code:
000007d0  75 27 64 20 6c 69 6b 65  20 74 6f 20 68 65 6c 70  |u'd like to help|
000007e0  2c 20 73 65 65 20 74 68  65 20 52 4f 41 44 4d 41  |, see the ROADMA|
000007f0  50 2e 74 78 74 20 66 69  6c 65 20 69 6e 20 74 68  |P.txt file in th|
00000800  65 20 64 6f 63 20 64 69  72 65 63 74 6f 72 79 2e  |e doc directory.|

I'm using EEPROM to store names and menu's, which is a lot of ASCII...

Is the content only available when the circuit is running? Or can I view it as well when the circuit is powered off (which makes sense with non-volatile memory like EEPROM).

Yes, it is in the plans.
This is the most basic implementetion.
But eventually some other features will be added:
- ASCII.
- Showing values in decimal/octal/binary.
- "Clear" button (0r fill with value).
- Editable values.
- Maybe breakpoints at memory value changes.

Very good ideas! But for me it is already a time saver as it is. Keep up the good work.

Intel HEX format import/export would be nice.

Version 0.4.15, available in April 3 will include a memory viewer with some improvements:

- Show ASCII values.
- Editable: you can edit numerical value or ASCII.

Values are (by now) only shown in hexadecimal, but you can introduce octal, decimal or hexadecimal.

It is advisable to add byte/word search and replace. This feature was in demand in the era of 8-bit computers.
