Getting Started with RealView Debugger

3.2Connecting 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:

Making a connection on page 3-5

Setting connect mode on page 3-6.

3.2.1Target 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.

3.2.2Working 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 Figure 3-2 on page 3-5.
