Saving the session, Workspace | ARM Version 1.6 manual

Ending your RealView Debugger Session

5.1Saving 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 page 5-3

•History file on page 5-3

•Settings options on page 5-4.

5.1.1Workspace

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 → Workspace from the main menu to display the Workspace menu shown in Figure 5-1.

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=-
