ARM DS-5 Using the Debug Hardware Configuration Utilities

Getting started with the debug hardware configuration utilities2.1 About the debug hardware configuration utilitiesThe debug hardware configuration utilities enable you to connect to the debug hardware unitthat provides the interface between your development platform and your PC. The followingutilities are provided:RVI Config IP utilityUsed to configure the IP address on a debug hardware unit. This enables you toaccess the unit over Ethernet.Debug Hardware Config utilityUsed to configure a debug hardware unit. This enables you to:• Identify the target devices on your development platform. These devicescan be one or more processors, and optional trace devices or CoreSight devices.• Configure debug hardware and target-related features that are appropriateto correctly debug your development platform.• Save the configuration to a device configuration file. The deviceconfiguration file is used by your debugger to connect to each targetprocessor on your development platform.RVI Update utilityUsed to update the firmware and devices on a debug hardware unit and probe.NoteThis document applies to the ARM ® DSTREAM debug and trace unit and the ARM RVI debug unit. The term trace hardware refers to:• the built-in trace hardware of a DSTREAM unit• an ARM RVT or ARM RVT2 trace capture unit for RVI.Differences in debug and trace hardware features between the units are explicitly stated.2.1.1 See alsoTasks• Starting the debug hardware configuration utilities on page 2-3• Scanning for available debug hardware units on page 2-5• Connecting to a debug hardware unit on page 2-8• Chapter 3 Configuring network settings for your debug hardware unit• Chapter 4 Managing the firmware on your debug hardware unit• Chapter 5 Creating debug hardware target configurations.ARM DUI 0498F Copyright © 2010-2012 ARM.
