4.3 Debugging with RealView Debugger

This section gives you step-by-step instructions to carry out some basic debugging

tasks. These examples use the sample project

dhrystone.prj

, supplied as part of the

RealView Debugger base installation. If you prefer, you can use the executable built in

Setting up your first project on page4-3 and saved in the tutorial project,

tutorial.prj

If you are not licensed to use RealView Debugger extensions, your Code window might

look different to the one shown in the rest of this tutorial. This does not affect the

tutorial.

This section contains the following subsections:

•Getting started

•Basic debugging tasks on page4-14

•Using breakpoints on page4-22.

4.3.1 Getting started

Complete these steps so that you can follow the rest of the tutorial:

1. Start RealView Debugger, as described in Starting RealView Debugger on

page3-2.

2. Connect to the

ARM7TDMI

core processor using ARMulator, as described in Making

a connection on page 3-5.

3. Select Project→ Open Project... to open the required project, for example

install_directory\examples\demo_ARM\dhrystone\dhrystone.prj

4. Click on the hyperlink in the File Editor pane to load the associated image, for

example

install_directory\examples\demo_ARM\dhrystone\Debug\dhrystone.axf

This location has been derived automatically from the project information.

The default Code window title bar shows the name of your open project:

RVDEBUG(dhrystone) = @ARM7TDMI_0:ARM-A-RR [Unattached]

Note

If you are using the supplied source files, RealView Debugger might warn that the

source is more recent than the executable. This message can be ignored.
