5.5.2. Configuring a new DSP connection with Multi-ICE direct connect

To create a new connection you can copy an existing connection entry in the Connection Properties window, or create a new connection entry that has default settings.

Note

If you copy a connection entry, certain configuration details are not updated until you close the Connection Properties window. This might mean that some asterisks are not immediately visible in the copy.

This example creates a new CEVA-Oak DSP connection using Multi-ICE direct connect. It assumes that a correctly configured .jtg file exists for the new target and this has been saved in the default settings directory \etc.

Note

RealView Debugger DSP support is separately licensed. You must obtain a license from your ARM distributor to use this feature and connect to the new target.

To create a new connection entry for a CEVA-Oak DSP using Multi-ICE direct connect:

  1. Select Target ? Connection Properties... to display the Connection Properties window.

  2. Right-click on the ...\rvdebug.brd entry, in the left pane.

  3. Select Make New Group... from the context menu.

  4. This displays the Group Type/Name selector dialog box, shown in Figure 5.18.

    Figure 5.18. Specifying a CONNECTION group

    Specifying a CONNECTION group

    Leave the type of the new entry unchanged as CONNECTION, but replace the default name new with a meaningful name for the new entry, for example New_OAK_DSP.

    This can be a descriptive name or the name of the new .jtg file that you are going to select, but without the .jtg extension.

  5. Click OK to confirm your settings and to close the Group Type/Name selector dialog box.

    The new entry appears in the left pane of the Connection Properties window. It is automatically selected, and its details are displayed in the right pane. These details are the default for a new CONNECTION and you must change at least the Connect_with/Manufacturer, the Configuration filename and target Description.

  6. In the right pane of the Connection Properties window, right-click on the Configuration entry and select Edit as Filename from the context menu.

    The Enter New Filename dialog box is displayed to enable you to locate the required .jtg file, for example \etc\New_OAK_DSP.jtg.

  7. Click Save to confirm your entries and to close the Enter New Filename dialog box.

    The new pathname is displayed in the right pane.

  8. In the right pane of the Connection Properties window, right-click on the Description field, and select Edit Value from the context menu.

    Type New_Oak_DSP in the entry area and press Enter.

    This is the description displayed in the Connection Control window and Connection Properties window to identify the new target.

  9. In the right pane of the Connection Properties window, right-click on the Connect_with entry and select Explore from the context menu.

  10. In the right pane of the Connection Properties window, right-click on the Manufacturer entry and select the required connection type from the context menu, for example ARM-ARM-HP.

    If you do not specify this setting, the new connection appears in the Connection Control window but, when you try to connect, RealView Debugger prompts for the connection type.

  11. Select File ? Save and Close to save your changes and close the Connection Properties window.

    Your new target is now displayed in the Connection Control window.
