RealView Debugger Target Configuration Guide: 4.2. Assigning a board, chip, or component group to a Debug Configuration

4.2. Assigning a board, chip, or component group to a Debug Configuration

The settings in a *.bcd file are only used if:

A board, chip, or component group in that .bcd file is referenced from a Debug Configuration.
An Advanced_Information block name is one of the following:
- The whole or part of the name of the target being connected.
  For example, settings in blocks named either ARM9 or ARM940T are used if you connect to an ARM940T processor. However, when multiple block names have a common string (ARM9 in this example), then the block with the longest match is always used, ARM940T in this case.
- Default
- All.
Typically, groups named Default and All are not required in a BCD file.
The identification string, id_match, specified in the Advanced_Information group, matches the hardware ID string returned by the target.
If more than one assigned configuration group matches the target hardware, the group with the longest match is used.

This section describes how you assign board/chip definitions. These examples assume that you are assigning board/chip definitions to a DSTREAM or RealView ICE Debug Configuration.

If this is the first time you have used DSTREAM or RealView ICE, make sure that you configure the debug interface before trying to connect.

Note

The examples in this section use existing board/chip definitions. However, you can create and use your own board/chip definitions.
