This configuration is shown in Figure 3.3.
To set up this linking configuration you must first ensure
that the *.bcd file exists and contains the
required BOARD, CHIP, or COMPONENT groups.
Then reference this file from your board file:
In the Connection Properties window, click the connection
that you are using, for example CONNECTION=RealView-ICE shown
in Figure 3.4.
Right-click on the BoardChip_name setting,
in the right pane, to display the BoardChip context
menu shown in Figure 3.5.
This context menu does not show the names of the .bcd files
found by RealView Debugger. Rather, the menu includes entries derived from
the contents of the .bcd files. It shows all BOARD, CHIP and COMPONENT groups
in the order that RealView Debugger locates them (RealView Debugger searches your
home directory first, then the ...\etc directory).
This illustrates how you can share target descriptions between different
connections.
Select the name of the required group, for example AP for
the Integrator/AP motherboard. A new entry is displayed in the right
pane, which is colored blue, and has an asterisk * beside it, for
example *BoardChip_name AP, shown in Figure 3.6.
Select File ? Save and Close to save your changes and close the Connection Properties window.
When you connect to your RealView ICE target, the configuration defined in your board group is applied to the connection. This gives you visibility of your custom hardware.
