Starting the TotalView Debugger Server

To start a debugging session over a serial line, first start the tvdsvr from the command line.

Using the console connected to the target computer, start tvdsvr and enter the name of the serial port device on the target computer. Use the following syntax:

tvdsvr –serial device[:baud=num]

where:

device

The name of the serial line device.

num

The serial line’s baud rate. If you omit the baud rate, TotalView uses a default value of 38400.

For example:

tvdsvr –serial /dev/com1:baud=38400

After it starts, tvdsvr waits for TotalView to establish a connection.
