ARM Version 1.6 manual How to use the tutorial, Getting started

Quick-start Tutorial

4.1How to use the tutorial

The tutorial starts by setting up a user-defined project to build an image for debugging. A user-defined project in RealView Debugger is not required for debugging, but it can provide a powerful aid to development. A project enables RealView Debugger to save your list of files, understand your build model, and maintain a record of your project-level preferences. In this tutorial, you build source files installed as part of the base installation and then debug the executable.

If you do not set up your own project, you can follow the tutorial using the supplied project, named dhrystone.prj, installed in the ARM examples directory. This sample project comes with a ready-built image, named dhrystone.axf, installed in the directory install_directory\examples\demo_ARM\dhrystone\Debug.

4.1.1Getting started

Begin by making a copy of the source files provided so that the tutorial is self-contained and the installed example files are untouched:

1.Create a new directory called install_directory\Tutorial. This is the tutorial project base directory.

2.Copy the required files, dhry.h, dhry_1.c, and dhry_2.c, from the examples directory, that is install_directory\examples\demo_ARM\dhrystone, into the new tutorial directory.

Start your session so that you can follow the tutorial:

1.Start RealView Debugger, as described in Starting RealView Debugger on page 3-2.

2.Connect to the ARM7TDMI core processor using ARMulator, as described in Making a connection on page 3-5.

You can complete the tutorial using the default files provided in the base installation. It is not necessary to change any of these files or to amend any configuration files.
