You can save all or part of the target memory to a file.
To save the contents of a memory range into a file:
Select Debug → Memory/Register Operations → Upload/Download Memory file... from the Code window main menu to display the Upload/Download file from/to Memory dialog box. Figure 13.57 shows an example:
Specify the operation and set up the controls, as follows:
Select the Save Memory into File radio button. This instructs RealView Debugger to access the specified memory block, read the contents, and write them to the given file.
In the File text box, enter the full path name of the file to use to read/write memory values.
In the Type of File section of the dialog box, select the data type to be used in the specified file where:
objspecifies an object file in the standard executable target format, for example ARM-ELF for ARM architecture-based targets.rawspecifies raw data using the most efficient access size for the target.raw32specifies a data file as a stream of 32-bit values.raw16specifies a data file as a stream of 16-bit values.raw8specifies a data file as a stream of 8-bit values.asciispecifies a space-separated file of hexadecimal values. A header line is included at the start of the file that describes the file format:[
start,end,size]where:
startendsizebis 8 bits (the default),his 16 bits andlis 32 bits.
Specify the region of memory to save, either as:
an address range (
0x88A0..0x8980)a start address and length (
0x88A0..+1000ormain..+1000).
If required, use the drop-down arrow to select a previously used location from the stored list.
