To configure a hosts file:
Start RealView Debugger without connecting to a target.
Display the Connection Control window where the new connection entry is visible, shown in Figure 4.7.
RealView Debugger locates the
rvbroker.brdfile in your home directory, or in\etc, and includes the configuration details in the board file, ready for editing.Right-click on the
Remote_Hostsentry to display the context menu.Select Properties... from the context menu to display the Connection Properties window, shown in Figure 4.8.
Edit the
RVBROKER=Remote_Hostsgroup as follows:Edit the
Descriptionsettings value in the right pane, to identify the remote connection, for exampleRemote to test board on TESTPC1.Make sure that the
Disabledsettings value in the right pane is set toFalse, the default.Expand the
Remotegroup, in the right pane, to display the contents.Edit the
Remotesettings values page to enter the network address of the remote workstation, for exampleHostname=TESTPC1.ournet.tst.com, shown in the example in Figure 4.4.
Select File ? Save and Close to save your changes and close the Connection Properties window.
The hosts file, rvbroker.brd, is automatically
updated with the new configuration information. You can view the
amended file using a text editor, for example:
[RVBROKER=Remote_Hosts] description="Remote to test board on TESTPC1" remote.hostname="TESTPC1.ournet.tst.com"
You can also use the network IP address to specify the remote target, for example:
[RVBROKER=Remote_Hosts] description="Remote to test board on TESTPC1" remote.hostname="123.145.6.170"
Default board file entries are not shown in the hosts file.
For example, the setting Disabled=False (shown
in Figure 4.8) is
the default setting for the new RVBROKER entry
and so there is no corresponding entry in the hosts file. However,
if you edit this setting so that it becomes *Disabled=False,
an entry is created in the hosts file, for example:
[RVBROKER=Remote_Hosts] description="Remote to test board on TESTPC1" remote.hostname="123.145.6.170" disabled=False
You can specify entries in the hosts file even where these are the default settings for the new connection.
