This RVDK is customized to have individual limitations and restrictions, implemented using two separate licensing mechanisms:
RealView ICE Micro Edition (RVI-ME) hardware license
FLEXlm software license
Both the RVI-ME and the FLEXlm license must be present in order for RVDK components to be used. For further information on FLEXlm, refer to the ARM FLEXlm License Management Guide.
RVDK components include RealView Compilation Tools, RealView Debugger and RVI-ME. RVD contains no pre-configured connections. You must therefore configure RVD yourself before you can connect to your target. To configure your connection, see Connecting to your target.
All versions of RVDK have the following limitations:
The RVI-ME provided with RVDK is compatible with all versions of RVDK shown in Table 1.4. It cannot, however, be used with other products.
The RVI-ME must be connected to a board containing a permitted ARM processor. Each version of RVDK is designed to be used only with a particular processor, or range of processors, as detailed in RealView Developer Kit components.
FLEXlm licenses for this RVDK are supplied only as node-locked licenses. This means you can only use RVDK on one specific system.
Both the RVI-ME (hardware) and the FLEXlm (software) licenses must be present in order for the debugger to operate.
The compiler requires the RealView ICE Micro Edition (RVI-ME) that is supplied with your copy of RVDK to be plugged into the USB port of your computer in order to work. The compiler does not operate if the correct RVI-ME is not detected.
The debugger will only work if the RVI-ME connection is to a processor that is permitted to be used with the toolkit. See RealView Developer Kit licensing.
The available versions of this RVDK are described in Table 1.4.
