RealView Debugger User Guide - ARM Information Center

Working with ImagesThis is the default if you select both:• Auto-Set PC• Replace Existing File(s).Unselect the Set PC to Entry point check box to prevent theload command setting the PC.NoteControls used here, for example setting the PC, might be overridden by load settingselsewhere, for example as specified in your project or target configuration settings.2.1.3 Loading from the Process Control paneIf you have started RealView Debugger and are connected to a debug target, you canload an image for execution from the Process Control pane:1. Select View → Process Control from the default Code window main menu todisplay the Process Control pane.With no image loaded, the pane only shows details about the debug targetprocessor and the current location of the PC.2. Right-click on the top line, the processor entry (for example ARM7TDMI), to displaythe Process context menu.With no image loaded, you can also display this menu from the Image entry.3. Select Load Image... to display the Load File to Target dialog box.4. Complete the entries in the dialog box, described in Using the Load File to Targetdialog box on page 2-3, to load the required image.2.1.4 Quick loadingWith a connection established, you can load an image by dragging the appropriateexecutable file, with the .axf extension, and dropping it into the File Editor pane. Ifsuccessful, this is the same as loading the image using the Load File to Target dialogbox with the default settings (shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3), that is the load auto-setsthe PC and overwrites any existing image on the debug target.NoteEnsure that the target device for the current connection, shown in the Code window titlebar, matches the processor type of the image you are trying to load. If they do not matchthe load fails. For example, you cannot load an image built for an ARMarchitecture-based processor on a DSP.ARM DUI 0153G Copyright © 2002-2005 ARM Limited.
