Hello, is there a particular reason why only *.map file is available (asking out of curiosity)? I think it's possible eventually, but for now my plan is to develop some other features. We can see how much interest is in this topic from other users.

ok, I will talk with the software team and see if they can provide the Elf.
I was looking on the server where the sw is compiled and the files are available.

one more question, do I need to ask the sw team to compile it with SWO enable?

For Variable Viewer you only need SWDIO/SWCLK so a minimal SWD connection. If you'd like to use Trace Viewer the SWO pin has to be configured - the trace registers are going to be set up by the MCUViewer.

ok, I'm not sure yet, the idea is to debug a control loop that run in 8khz and I want to see some 32bits variables from it in time during operation. I will try with Variable Viewer first to now request change on the sw at the moment.
Thank you.
