ARM DS-5 Using the Debug Hardware Configuration Utilities

Configuring debug hardware for GDB2. Configure the processor using rvconfig, using either automatic or manual configuration.Save the rvc file in a convenient location.3. Run rvigdbconfig, specifying the rvc file that was created in step 2: rvigdbconfig –frvi.rvc4. Start GDB, load the symbols if required, and connect to the first processor (using port4000 of debug hardware in this example):arm-elf-gdb(gdb) file demo.elf(gdb) target remote rvi5:4000Remote debugging using rvi5:40000x00000000 in $a ()(gdb)GDB is now connected to the processor, and an image can be loaded and debugged.NoteTo load and boot a complete system, use the rviload utility.5. Set up any breakpoints or other debugging features, then run the application.
