The target description groups in a *.bcd file
are only used if:
the .bcd file
is referenced from a connection
the identification string, id_match,
specified in the Advanced_Information group, matches
the hardware ID string returned by the target.
If more than one linked configuration group matches the target hardware, the group with the longest match is used.
This section describes how you make these links in the board file for a connection. These examples assume that you are linking configuration groups to a connection that uses RVI-ME. To avoid conflict between settings in different configuration groups, see Avoiding conflicts between linked board groups.
For details on how to configure RealView ICE connections, you should refer to the chapter on configuring a RealView ICE connection in RealView ICE and RealView Trace Version 1.5 User Guide.
If this is the first time you have used RVI-ME, ensure that you configure the debug interface before trying to connect (see Configuring an RVI/RVI-ME interface unit for details).
There are several cases to consider, presented here in order of increasing complexity:
The examples in this section use existing target descriptions. However, you can create and use your own target descriptions. For detailed instructions describing how to create your own target descriptions, see Creating new target descriptions.
