Getting Started with RealView Debugger

panes are updated with debug information, for example the Register pane shows the core registers for the connected target.

Where you are always debugging code on the same target you can configure RealView Debugger to make the same connection automatically each time it starts. See the chapter describing connecting to targets in RealView Debugger v1.6 Target Configuration Guide for details of how to set this option.

RDI connection details

RealView Debugger displays RDI connection details in different tabs depending on the startup conditions and the Code windows you are using. Because this is the first time you connected to an RDI target from the default Code window, the startup connection details are displayed in the Log tab and the Cmd tab of the Output pane. In future debugging sessions, this information is displayed in the Cmd tab.

3.2.4Setting connect mode

You can control the way a target processor starts when you connect. This is particularly useful when debugging multiprocessor debug targets and working with multiple threads. In single processor debugging mode, you might want to leave an image executing while RealView Debugger closes down and then restart at a later date.

If you are not connected, you can set connect mode when you make a new connection:

1.Select File Connection Connect to Target... to display the Connection Control window.

2.Right-click on the connection entry and select Connect (Defining Mode)... from the Connection context menu.

3.Select the required state from the selection box. The options listed depend on your execution vehicle.

4.Click OK to make the connection with the processor in the required state.

If you set connect mode from the Connection Control window, this temporarily overrides any setting in your target configuration file. See the chapter describing connecting in RealView Debugger v1.6 Target Configuration Guide for full details on setting connect mode for your debug target.
