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.
