A.5.3. RVBROKER groups

Use an RVBROKER entry to configure connections managed by RealView Connection Broker. This group enables you to access local host simulators or remote emulators, or simulators, running on another workstation on your network.

To access remote connections, debug target configuration files are held on the local workstation and are pushed across the network connection to the remote host.

Specific to this entry is the Simulator_info group that defines the simulator being used. The Default group contains:

Sim_family

Specifies which member of the processor family to use.

Sim_dll

Specifies the DLLs to load for custom ASICs or boards being simulated.

Endianess

Used for ARM cores, this specifies the byte order of the processor being simulated.

The following entries are also available, as described in Generic groups and settings:

Using a hosts file

The rvbroker.brd entry enables inclusion of a special hosts file containing a list of all network nodes that can run or are running RealView Connection Broker. This enables multiple users to access simulators, emulators, and EVMs anywhere on the network by sharing this single file.

This is the same as using RealView Connection Broker to manage remote connections across your network. However, the connection details are contained in the rvbroker.brd file and not in the board file. This also enables multiple users to share the configuration details from a central location on the network.

For full details on working with remote connections, see Chapter 6 Working with Remote Targets.
