Debugging Over a Serial Line

TotalView allows you to debug programs over a serial line as well as TCP/IP sockets. However, if a network connection exists, you will probably want to use it because performance will be much better.

You will need to have two connections to the target machine: one for the console and the other for TotalView. Do not try to use one serial line as TotalView cannot share a serial line with the console.

The following figure illustrates a TotalView debugging session using a serial line. In this example, TotalView is communicating over a dedicated serial line with a TotalView Debugger Server running on the target host. A VT100 terminal is connected to the target host's console line, allowing you to type commands on the target host.
