How to: Attach Platform Builder to a Running Emulator

  • Article

To attach Platform Builder to an instance of the Device Emulator that is running, you must boot the Device Emulator using the eboot.nb0 image. If the Device Emulator is started using a kernel .bin file, the run-time image boots without the kernal independent transport layer (KITL) and cannot be attached to Platform Builder for a virtual machine session.

To attach to a Device Emulator that is running

  1. Launch the Device Emulator from the command line using the eboot.nb0 image file.

    For more information, see How to: Start the Device Emulator.

  2. After the Device Emulator opens, open Platform Builder.

  3. On the Target menu, click Connectivity Options.

  4. In the left pane, select Kernel Service Map.

  5. In the Download box:

    • Select None if the run-time image is booted; or

    • Select Ethernet to use Ethernet to download the run-time image.

  6. Click Settings.

  7. In the Emulator Properties dialog box, modify settings for the Device Emulator, and then click OK.

  8. In the Transport box, select Ethernet.

  9. Click Core Service Settings. In KITL Settings, select any of the following settings that you want:

    • Enable KITL.

    • Enable access to desktop files.

    • Clear memory on soft reset

  10. Click Apply.

  11. On the Target menu, click Attach Device.
