RealView Debugger enables you to program Flash memory (that is, download programs or patch code and data).

This is because Flash has a block structure and requires various control signals to be generated to access the device.

How RealView Debugger writes to Flash memory depends on:

Programming Flash with RealView Debugger requires the following files:

RealView Debugger provides files for some ARM development platforms. If the files provided do not fit your requirements, then you must create your own files. How you create these files depends on whether or not your development platform uses a Flash type that is already supported by RealView Debugger.
