ARM DS-5 Using the Debug Hardware Configuration Utilities

Getting started with the debug hardware configuration utilities2.5 Connecting to a debug hardware unitYou must connect to your debug hardware unit to create a configuration file that contains detailsof your target hardware and the debug hardware. The configuration file is required by yourdebugger to connect to your target development platform and debug your software.2.5.1 PrerequisitesBefore you can connect to a debug hardware unit, make sure you have:1. Set up, or have access to, the debug hardware unit that interfaces with your developmentplatform.2. Installed the correct version of the host software on your PC for your debug hardware unit.2.5.2 ProcedureTo connect to a debug hardware unit:1. Start the required configuration utility, for example the Debug Hardware Config utility.2. If you do not see any debug hardware units listed for your local network, click the Scanbutton. The Scan button becomes animated to indicate that a scan is in progress. Whenthe utility finds a debug hardware unit on your local network, it is added to the list ofavailable units. The following figure shows an example:Figure 2-2 Debug Hardware Config utility showing debug hardware unitsNoteThe scan tool only searches for debug hardware units that are connected to your localnetwork or USB ports on your PC. Therefore, units that are connected to a differentnetwork do not appear in the configuration utility. Consequently, if you want to connectto a debug hardware unit that is not accessible on your local network, ensure that youknow the IP address of that debug hardware unit.ARM DUI 0498F Copyright © 2010-2012 ARM.
