How do I map memory by using a predefined board/chip definition file?

You can use a predefined board/chip definition file (*.bcd) to define your target memory in RealView Debugger. You must declare it in a CONNECTION setting for the target.

A detailed description of amending connection properties is provided in the RealView Debugger v1.8 User Guide. The following example describes the procedure for using a predefined .bcd file for an ARM Integrator/AP with a CM920T_ETM core module, running under Multi-ICE.

1. Open RealView Debugger without connecting to a target.

2. Select Connection Properties… from the Code window Target menu to display the Connection Properties window

3. Click $image\plus.gif$ in the left pane to expand the ARM RDI Configuration Entries group:

7. Enter a name for the group, and click OK. In this example, enter MY_BOARD.

8. Click on the CONNECTION line of the new group to display the settings in the right pane:
