ARM DS-5 Using the Debug Hardware Configuration Utilities

Configuring debug hardware for GDB9.15 Connecting to targets from GDB through debug hardware9.15.1 See alsoTo connect to a target from GDB, you must configure debug hardware to recognize your targetdevices. You do this by using rvigdbconfig to configure debug hardware with the scan chaindetails. GDB is then connected to the processor.To connect to a target from GDB:1. Power-up your target hardware and debug hardware unit.2. Start the Debug Hardware Config utility, and configure the processor.3. Run rvigdbconfig, specifying the appropriate rvc file:rvigdbconfig –f rvi.rvc4. Start GDB, load the symbols if required, and connect to the first processor (using port4000 of your 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.Tasks• Starting the debug hardware configuration utilities on page 2-3• Setting DCC parameters on page 9-23.Reference• Debug hardware TCP/IP port numbering on page 9-6• DCC modes on page 9-7• rvigdbconfig command syntax on page 9-27.ARM DUI 0498F Copyright © 2010-2012 ARM.
