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. |
