Configuration Files Reference

A.3 Files in the home directory

When you install and run RealView Debugger v1.6 for the first time, files containing default settings and target configuration details are copied into your RealView Debugger default home directory where they can be maintained.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of RealView Debugger, the installer creates the home directory and copies your existing configuration details into it. This means that this area is not empty when you run the debugger for the first time:

armreg.sig	An internal settings file that is created or updated each time you run
	RealView Debugger.
	Do not edit this file manually.
exphist.sav	Your personal history file. This file keeps a record of each session and
	stores your personal favorites, for example breakpoints. This file is
	updated at the end of each debugging session.
genmake.loc	Specifies the location of the development toolchain used when working
	with projects. RealView Debugger copies this file into the default home
	directory when you first create a project.
rvdebug.aws	Your default workspace settings file. For a new installation, RealView
	Debugger creates this file when it runs for the first time. By default, this
	file is updated at the end of each debugging session.
rvdebug.brd	Your board file containing target configuration settings. For a new
	installation, this is a duplicate of the file installed in
	install_directory\etc.
	This file references .rbe files and .bcd files.
rvdebug.ini	Specifies global configuration settings used across all workspaces or
	when working without a workspace. For a new installation, RealView
	Debugger creates this file when it runs for the first time.
rvdebug.sav	This file specifies how each RealView Debugger session starts. For a new
	installation, RealView Debugger creates this file the first time you close
	down after performing an operation. By default, this file is updated at the
	end of each debugging session.
*.auc	These are default target configuration settings files that are created when
	you first run RealView Debugger, for example default.auc.
	These files are referenced by the .rbe files.
