5.3.4. Configuring Remote_A

To enable RealView Debugger to communicate with an Angel debug target, use Remote_A, supplied with RealView Debugger.

Note

Remote_A.dll is installed as part of RealView Developer Suite, you must add it to the RDI Target List yourself, from its location in the directory (see Adding RDI targets for details):

install_directory\RDI\Targets\Remote_A\...\win_32-pentium

For the Remote_A RDI target entry, the configuration dialog box is shown in Figure 5.10.

Remote_A connection dialog box

The Remote_A connection dialog box enables you to examine and change the following settings:

Remote connection driver

Click Select... to see a list of available drivers. This includes Serial, Serial/Parallel, and Ethernet drivers. Select one if you want to use it instead of the current driver.

To change the settings of the currently selected driver, click Configure.... This displays the dialog box appropriate to the chosen driver.

Heartbeat

Ensures reliable transmission by sending heartbeat messages. Any errors are more easily detected when known messages are expected regularly.

Endian

These radio buttons specify that the target is operating in little-endian or big-endian mode.

This setting is only used if you are connected to an EmbeddedICE® Interface Unit.

Channel Viewers

RealView Debugger does not support channel viewers.

If you add Remote_A to the RDI Target List dialog box yourself, you must configure the target before you can connect. When you first display the Remote_A connection dialog box, all settings are empty. Use Select... to choose the driver DLL. Configure the other settings as required.
