B.3. Files in the home directory

When you run RealView Debugger for the first time, files containing default settings and target configuration details are copied into your RealView Debugger default home directory where they can be edited:

armreg.sig

An internal settings file that is created or updated each time you run RealView Debugger.

Do not edit this file manually.

exphist.sav

Your personal history file. This file keeps a record of each session and stores your personal favorites, for example watched variables. This file is updated at the end of each debugging session.

rvdebug.aws

Your default workspace settings file. For a new installation, RealView Debugger creates this file when it runs for the first time. By default, this file is updated with the state of the debugger at the end of each debugging session.

rvdebug.brd

Your board file containing target configuration settings. For a new installation, this is a duplicate of the file installed in the default settings directory \etc.

This file references .rbe files and .bcd files.

rvdebug.ini

Specifies global configuration settings used across all workspaces or when working without a workspace. For a new installation, RealView Debugger creates this file when it runs for the first time.

rvdebug.sav

This file specifies how each RealView Debugger session starts. For a new installation, RealView Debugger creates this file the first time you close down after performing an operation. By default, this file is updated at the end of each debugging session.

settings.sav

This file is used to persist various settings when between RealView Debugger sessions.

*.auc

These are RVISS target configuration settings files created when you first run RealView Debugger, for example default.auc.

*.bcd

Board/Chip definition files that you might have copied into your home directory, from the default settings directory \etc, to make changes.

Make copies of files so that the installation files are not changed.

*.smc

These are ISSM target configuration settings files created when you first run RealView Debugger, for example ISSM_0.auc.
