4.8.2. Assigning a board/chip definition to another board/chip definition

A board/chip definition can reference one or more BOARD, CHIP, or COMPONENT groups from other board/chip definitions. In this way, you can build up an extended view of your development platform from other components.

To assign a board/chip definition to another board/chip definition:

  1. Select Target → Connection Properties... from the Code window main menu to open the Connection Properties window.

  2. Expand the (*.bcd) Board/Chip Definitions group to show the current list of BCD files.

  3. Select the required board/chip definition to which you want to assign another board/chip definition.

  4. Right-click on the BoardChip_name setting in the right pane to display the context menu.

  5. Select the name of the required board/chip definition from the context menu.

    Note

    You might have to select <More...> from the context menu to find the name you require.

    For example, select KS32C50100. A new setting is added to the right pane with an asterisk * beside it. Figure 4.13 shows an example:

  6. Select File → Save and Close from the menu to save your changes and close the Connection Properties window.

When you connect to a target using this Debug Configuration, the settings defined in the assigned board/chip definition are applied to that connection. Therefore, RealView Debugger is able to access the areas of your development platform as defined in that board/chip definition.

Note

Ignore any duplicate, overlapping memory, or register not found warning messages that are displayed when you connect.
