Preface

About this book

This book describes how to configure the RealMonitor host controller, RealMonitor.dll, and how to debug RealMonitor-enabled applications using RMHost. This book documents only the host-side functionality of RealMonitor. For complete details on the target-side functionality, and how to prepare an RealMonitor-enabled application, see the ARM RMTarget Integration Guide.

Intended audience

This book is written for programmers who want to debug a time-critical application or RTOS using RMHost. It assumes that you are familiar with the process of debugging, and that you understand how RMTarget has been integrated into your application.

Using this book

Chapter 3 Debugging with RMHost

Read this chapter for a description of the debugging features you can use, and the debugging restrictions you must be aware of, when connected to RMHost.
