3.2 Connecting to a target
The next stage in your debugging session is to connect to your debug target. The base
installation of RealView Debugger includes built-in configuration files to enable you to
make a connection without having to modify any configuration details.
This section introduces target configuration and how to make a connection:
•Target configuration
•Working with connections
•Making a connection on page3-5
•Setting connect mode on page 3-6.
3.2.1 Target configuration
RealView Debugger uses a board file to access information about the debugging
environment and the debug targets available to you, for example how memory is
mapped. See RealView Debugger v1.6 Target Configuration Guide for details of how to
customize your targets.
You can start to use RealView Debugger with the default board file installed as part of
the base installation without making any further changes.
3.2.2 Working with connections
RealView Debugger makes a distinction between target configuration, and how a target
is accessed, that is the connection.
Select File→ Connection → Connect to Target... from the main menu to display the
Connection Control window ready to make your first connection. This is shown in
Figure3-2 on page 3-5.
