RE: nrf52840.svd from nRF5 SDK 15.2.0 does not let SES show register arrays

Hi Sigurd,

thank you, your guess is right. I have replaced the hex values in the <dim> and <dimIncrement> elements by decimal values and now the register arrays appear.

Btw. I had tried that before without success, After modification of the svd file it seems not to be enough if you close and re-open the Segger Embedded Studio, you have also to unselect and then select again the appropriate register group in the "Group" window in order to get a correct register array display.

Regards

Dirk

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this.

This looks like a bug in Segger Embedded studio. Maybe they can't read hex numbers in dim* tags. The dim* tags are defined as containing a scaled non negative integer, defined as:

<!-- scaledNonNegativeInteger specifies the format in which numbers are represented in hexadecimal or decimar format -->
  <xs:simpleType name="scaledNonNegativeInteger">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:pattern value="[+]?(0x|0X|#)?[0-9a-fA-F]+[kmgtKMGT]?"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>

If segger embedded studio can read svd files, it should be able to read all numerical elements as hex as well as decimal.

We will also report this to Segger.
