This patch updates the RealView ICE v3.1 host side utilities for Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Linux, and also provides the RealView ICE v3.1 firmware patch which needs to be installed separately.

It contains important fixes to the RealView ICE update utility (RVIUpdate) to allow upgrades from older versions (v1.5 or earlier) of firmware without error - please see the associated FAQ. A more detailed list of defects can be found below. 

N.B. In order to install this patch, you will first need to obtain and install v3.1 of RealView ICE software and firmware.

Installation Instructions

This patch will work on systems running either Microsoft Windows or Red Hat Linux. These example commands assume that you have installed RealView ICE v3.1 at the standard location. (If you have installed RealView ICE at a non default location you must select Custom Destination when prompted and browse to the appropriate folder. Failure to do this will generate the error message "No suitable products found".)

On Windows, you can either double-click the patchfile or run a command of the form:

"c:\Program Files\ARM\bin\win_32-pentium\setup.exe" patch --source RVI_3_1_3_Patch.armpatch

Note using a double-click will start the GUI patch mechanism while running the above command will start the command line patch mechanism.

On Red Hat Linux, run a command of the form:

~/ARM/bin/linux-pentium/setuplinux.bin patch --source RVI_3_1_3_Patch.armpatch

Note if patching from the command line you will need to start a new session (under Windows or Linux ) or re-source the ~/ARM/rvi_3_1_env.posh file (Linux only) to be able to take advantage of the new version of RealView ICE.

*NOTE* If you have created any desktop shortcuts or batch files which use the absolute path to the original programs, these must be modified to match the new program locations. The executable programs remain in the original directories, but may not function correctly with the patched modules.

After the patch has been installed, use the RVIUpdate utility to install the firmware component of the patch to your RealView-ICE box.

The firmware patch can be found in [Install Directory]/RVI/Firmware/3.1/26/ARM-RVI-3.1.3-776-patch.rvi.

The RealView ICE User Guide  covers the use of this utility. Details can be found in chapter 7.1 - 'Installing an update or patch'.

ARM^® RealView^® ICE v3.1.3 Release Notes

RealView ICE v3.1.3 is a patch release to the RealView ICE v3.1 release. The patch includes updates to the RealView ICE firmware and a patch to the RealView ICE host PC software.

The software patch addresses an issue with v3.1 of the RVIUpdate utility that could cause corruption to RealView ICE firmware. If an update to v1.7 from v1.4 or below firmware was attempted this would leave the unit unbootable. Attempting to update from v1.4 firmware or below to v3.1 firmware would fail with an error.

Specific fixes:

• DE468571 - fix to the firmware to allow 2 clients to connect to different devices simultaneously.
