The eXDI2RVI driver provides connectivity between Microsoft Platform Builder for Windows CE and Windows Embedded CE, and ARM^® RealView^® ICE. This allows you to use Platform Builder to perform hardware-assisted debug of ARM architecture-based target systems using RealView ICE v3.1 or later. The eXDI2RVI driver runs on the same Windows Workstation as Platform Builder, allowing connectivity between the Platform Builder eXDI interface and RealView ICE. In addition, the eXDI2RVI driver provides a graphical user interface to allow access to target features that are not available through the Platform Builder GUI.

This Application Note describes how to set up and use the eXDI2RVI driver with Platform Builder. It is assumed that you are familiar with RealView ICE and Platform Builder. It is also assumed that you are familiar with the Platform Builder support for hardware-assisted debugging, as described in the appropriate documentation supplied with Platform Builder.
