Getting Started with RealView Debugger

3.4.4Unloading an image

You do not have to unload an image from a debug target before loading a new image for execution. Display the Load File to Target dialog box and ensure that the Replace Existing File(s) check box is selected ready to load the next image.

However, you might want to unload an image explicitly as part of your debugging session, for example if you correct coding errors and then rebuild outside RealView Debugger. You can do this using the Process Control pane:

1.Select View Pane Views Process Control Pane from the default Code window main menu.

2.Right-click on the Image entry, for example dhrystone.axf, or on the Load entry, Image+Symbols, to display the Image context menu.

3.Select Unload.

You can also unload an image by clicking on the check box associated with the Load entry so that it is unselected.

Unloading an image does not affect target memory. It unloads the symbols and removes most of the image details from RealView Debugger. However, the image name is retained.

Note

To remove image details completely, right-click on the Image entry in the Process

Control pane and select Delete Entry.
