The Workspace Options window enables you to examine your current
workspace settings and edit these settings to change the workspace
or to create your own workspace files. The first time RealView Debugger opens
the default workspace file, rvdebug.aws, the
Workspace Options window contains only the start-up settings, shown in Figure 10.2.
The main interface components of this window are:
- Main menu
This contains:
- File
Displays the File menu where you can save the workspace file after you have made changes.
- View
Displays the View menu to toggle the display to show all the settings or only those that have been edited.
- Help
Displays the online Help menu.
- Save icon
Click this icon to save the workspace settings file to disk. The name of the current file is shown as the first entry in the left pane.
- Description
This field displays a one-line description about an entry selected in the List of Entries pane or Settings Values pane.
- List of Entries pane
The left pane is the List of Entries pane, and shows configuration entries as a hierarchical tree with node controls (see List of Entries pane).
- Settings Values pane
The right pane is the Settings Values pane, and shows the settings for the group selected in the List of Entries pane (see Settings Values pane).
When you close down RealView Debugger, your workspace settings file is updated with the current configuration, for example projects, connections, and open windows.
Note
See the RealView Debugger online help topic Changing Settings for details on all the entries in the Workspace Options window.
The left pane of the Workspace Options window, the List of Entries pane, shows workspace entries as a hierarchical tree with node controls (see Figure 10.3). Groups of settings are associated with an icon to explain their function:
- Red disk
This is a container disk file.
RealView Debugger uses
this, for example, to specify an include file.- Yellow folder
This
is a parent group containing other groups (rules pages)
and/or entries.- Rules page
A
rules page is a container for settings values that you can change
in the right pane. When unselected, the pencil disappears (see Figure 10.3).This icon only appears in the left pane.
An asterisk (*) is placed at the front of an entry to show that it has changed from the default or was created by RealView Debugger. Figure 10.3 shows an example settings file that specifies a multiprocessor debugging session.
If you click on an entry in the left pane, a red box is drawn around it and the Description field is updated. At the same time, the right pane, the Settings Values pane, is updated to show the contents of the highlighted group (see Settings Values pane).
