5.1 Saving the session
RealView Debugger stores session details by default when you end your debugging
session. Saving the session enables you to start your next session using the same
working environment, connecting automatically to a specified target, and opening
projects.
RealView Debugger stores session details using your:
•Workspace
•Startup file on page5-3
•History file on page 5-3
•Settings options on page5-4.
5.1.1 Workspace
The RealView Debugger workspace is used for visualization and control of default
values, and storing persistence information. It includes:
• user-defined options and settings
• connection details
• details about open windows and, in some cases, their contents
• user-defined projects or auto-projects to open on startup.
The first time that you run RealView Debugger, the default workspace settings file
rvdebug.aws
is created in your home directory. Each time you start RealView Debugger
after this, it loads this workspace automatically, but you can change the defaults or
create a new workspace of your own.
To change your workspace, select File→ Wor kspa ce from the main menu to display
the Works pace menu shown in Figure5-1.

Alternatively, you can run RealView Debugger from the command line without loading
a workspace, for example:
"C:\Program Files\ARM\RealView Debugger v1_6\bin\rvdebug.exe" -aws=-
