The Memory View

The Memory View can be used to monitor a specific section of the memory of the debugged board. In the left side the Memory Monitors are displayed, which represents a section of memory specified by it’s location called base address. On the right hand side the Memory Rendering pane is displayed where the actual data of the specific memory region is shown.
