4.18. RVISS configuration files

RVISS configuration files (.ami and .dsc files) are ToolConf files, which are located in the following directories:

The main RVISS configuration directory contains .ami and .dsc files:
install_directory\RVARMulator\ARMulator\...\...\platform
By default, the following .ami files are supplied:
- bustypes.ami
- default.ami
- example1.ami
- peripherals.ami
- processors.ami
- vfp.ami.
By default, the following .dsc files are supplied:
- arm925.dsc
- arm1020ej.dsc
- arm1026ej.dsc
- armiss.dsc
- armulate.dsc
- peripherals.dsc
- v6armiss.dsc
- vfp11.dsc
- vfp.dsc
- xScale.dsc.
For the MPCore™ model, the following directory contains the smp11.dsc file:
install_directory\RVARMulator\MPCore\ARMulator\...\...\rvds30\platform
For ARMv6 architecture models that support Thumb-2 and TrustZone™, the following directory contains the v6thumb2.dsc and v6trustzone.dsc files:
install_directory\RVARMulator\v6ARMulator\...\...\platform.

In these paths:

platform is:
- win_32-pentium for Windows
- linux-pentium for Red Hat Linux.
For Red Hat Linux, replace \ with /.

When you connect to an RVISS model from RealView Debugger, RVISS loads all .ami files it finds on any of the paths specified in the environment variable ARMCONF. This is initially set up to point to:

install_directory\RVARMulator\ARMulator\...\...\platform

If a configuration is specified differently in two files, the file in the path that appears first is used. If there are several directories in ARMCONF, RVISS loads .ami files from directories in the order that they appear in the list. RVISS loads .ami files from within each directory in an unpredictable order.
