Target connection is the mechanism that RealView Debugger uses to access your debug target. Targets, such as ARM® architecture-based processors or DSPs, are accessed through a debug target interface. The debug target interface is referred to in RealView Debugger as a Debug Interface, which can provide the interface to hardware or software development platforms:
An ARM development board with one or more processors, accessed through RealView ICE, is an example of a hardware development platform.
RealView ARMulator ISS (RVISS) and Instruction Set System Model (ISSM) are examples of software development platforms, and are provided with RealView Development Suite (RVDS). RealView Debugger also supports RealView SoC Designer and Real Time System Model (RTSM) simulated development platforms.
Before you can connect to a target processor, you might have to configure the appropriate Debug Interface and connection details.
For details on how to connect to target processors, see Chapter 3 Target Connection.
