Start the TotalView Debugger Server

To start a TotalView debugging session over a serial line from the command line, you must first start the TotalView Debugger Server (tvdsvr).

Using the console connected to the target machine, start tvdsvr and enter the name of the serial port device on the target machine. Here is the syntax of the command you would use:

    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, the TotalView Debugger Server will wait for TotalView to establish a connection.
