Working with ImagesIf there are any source file tabs currently displayed in the File Editor pane, the Src tabis brought to the top automatically when you unload because there is no known context.The open files remain available for editing, if required. See Code views on page 3-3 formore details on using these tabs.Unloading an image does not affect target memory. It unloads the symbol table (and anymacros) and removes debug information from RealView Debugger. However, the imagename is retained for reloading and the associated auto-project, or user-defined projectused to load the image, is maintained.NoteUnloading an image does not close the in-memory auto-project, associated with theimage, or save any changes to the auto-project. This enables you to modify thesesettings, and save, ready for the next time you load (or reload) this image. However, ifyou close the auto-project explicitly, RealView Debugger performs an image unload.Deleting image detailsTo remove all details about an image after you have unloaded it, right-click on the Imageentry in the Process Control pane and select Delete Entry from the context menu. Ifthere is an auto-project associated with the image, this closes. If you opened auser-defined project to load the image, this does not close.Disconnecting with an image loadedIf you disconnect with an image loaded, this removes debug information from RealViewDebugger and so clears pane contents from your Code window. This does not close theuser-defined project used to load the image, or any auto-project associated with theimage. You can reload the image if you reconnect.However, if you close the project explicitly, you must load the image again after youreconnect because all image details are removed.2.5.3 Replacing the currently loaded imageYou do not have to unload an image from a debug target before loading a new image forexecution. To load over an existing image, ensure that the Replace Existing File(s)check box is checked on the Load File to Target dialog box, shown in Figure 2-1 onpage 2-3. This automatically removes all details about the first image from RealViewDebugger.ARM DUI 0153G Copyright © 2002-2005 ARM Limited. All rights reserved. 2-23
