Clion Embeded debugging - peripherals viewer not working

Hello,

I have followed the instructions on setting up Clion for embedded development and can confirm that Openocd and gdb are probably working as they should. The problem I am having is with viewing the registers. I have the STM32F3 discovery board running a timer in PWM mode. The timer is lit according to duty cycle and I can confirm that all looks good. However, when I start the debug with openocd, I am unable to see anything with the peripherals after using the SVD file for the MCU from ST's website. I can neither see the GPIO register value nor the Timer 1 CNT value.  

The onboard st-link debugger is what I am using. Are there any parameters that need to be passed during compilation or before debugging to be able to view registers?

Any help with figuring this out is appreciated, thank you
