RealView Debugger uses a board file to access information about the debugging environment and the debug targets available to you. You can use RealView Debugger with the default board file that is installed for you in your debugger home directory. See Defining the home directory for more information.
If you work with a variety of targets and connections you might set up and save several board files, so that you can easily switch RealView Debugger from one to another. You can change the board file being used for the current session in two ways:
right-click on a top-level entry in the Connection
Control window, for example ARM-ARM-USB, and
select Select Board-File... from the context
menu
change your workspace settings file to start the session with a specified board file, see the chapter on configuring workspaces in Chapter 11 Configuring Workspace Settings for details.
To ensure that configuration information is maintained, do not change the active board file if:
the Connection Properties window is open
you are connected to a debug target.
