Unbinding a project from a connection

You do not have to unbind a project before you rebind another project to the same connection. However, you might want to unbind a project so that you can open a new project and ensure that it binds to the connection, for example, if you have an autobound project bound to the current connection and you want to open a project that uses default binding.

Unbinding a project from a connection runs any commands specified for the project in the Close setting of the Project Properties, unless unbinding happens as a result of disconnecting from the target. If it is a user-defined project, its details are removed from the Process Control pane.

$image\lamp.gif$ Auto-projects created as a result of using the Load Image option are visible as long as the connection is open, regardless of binding.

To unbind a project from a connection using the Project Control dialog:

1. Select Project Control… from the Code window Project menu

2. Deselect ( $image\box.gif$ ) any projects that are selected in the displayed list

3. Select ( $image\tick.gif$ ) the project in the displayed list

4. Click Un-Bind to unbind the selected project.

$image\exclaim.gif$ Do not unbind a user-defined project if the image is loaded. Unload the image first, or RealView Debugger creates an auto-project automatically.

A project is unbound automatically in the following circumstances:

When you bind a different project to the connection successfully using the Re-bind option in the Project Control dialog.
When you close a project.
Disconnect from the target. If there is a project bound to a connection when you disconnect, RealView Debugger unbinds the project automatically.

$image\exclaim.gif$ In this situation, the Close commands are not run.
