The Connection Control window shows all the connections available
to you as specified in your board file and the configuration files
it references. The window title bar shows the location of the board
file being used. In the example in Figure 2.1, this is the default file, stored in .program_directory\home\user_name\rvdebug.brd
The Connection Control window is arranged in two columns or
panes, Name and Description.
Connection and target details are displayed in the left pane as
a hierarchical tree with node controls, + and -.
Expand and collapse the groups in the Connection Control window
by clicking on the plus sign or the minus sign at each node in the Name tree. Figure 2.1 shows a Connection
Control window after groups have been expanded. If a group is selected, a
box is drawn around it.
Context menus are available to change the way entries are
displayed. To expand the top-level group, right-click on the group,
for example ARM-ARM-USB, and select Expand Vehicles from
the context menu. To expand the second-level entry, right-click
on the RVI-ME entry, and select Expand.
To collapse them again, select Collapse from
the context menu.
You can connect or disconnect by checking or unchecking the connection state check box shown in Figure 2.2.
If you collapse connected (checked) entries, RealView® Debugger does not
complete the collapse request so that a connection is not hidden.
Instead, the control is grayed out, as shown for the RVI-ME entry
in Figure 2.3.
The Connection Control window shows available connections
as defined by the target configuration settings. This is based on
information about the available target processors as defined in
the default configuration files. The RealView ICE Micro Edition (RVI-ME) configuration
files, installed as part of the root installation, specify ARM7TDMI_0 as
the default processor.
