RealView Debugger Target Configuration Guide: 2.1. About customizing a Debug Interface configuration

2.1. About customizing a Debug Interface configuration

You configure the way that RealView Debugger connects to, and interacts with, your targets using connection properties contained in board file entries. A target might be:

an ARM^® architecture-based processor (simulated or hardware)
a CoreSight™ component.

Using Debug Configuration entries enables you to configure:

debugger to target connection details, such as the Debug Interface type and instance, TAP controller positions, and connection interface address
debugger actions taken when a connection is made, for example running commands.

Debug Configurations are stored in your board file (.brd), which is located in your RealView Debugger home directory. Debug Interface configuration files might also be located in this directory, for example .rvc files.

It is recommended that you back up this directory before starting the examples described in this chapter, so that you can restore your original configuration later.

Note

You cannot customize a Debug Configuration when the debugger is connected to a target on that Debug Configuration.

There are descriptions of the general layout and controls of the RealView Debugger settings windows, including the Connection Properties window, in the RealView Debugger online help topic Changing Settings. This chapter assumes that you are familiar with the procedures described in this help topic.
