Launch the Simulator
You need to enable (remote) access to the Simics® simulator via Target Communication Framework (TCF).
Start Simics® simulator from the CLI to be able to connect from the Intel® System Debugger.
If you start Simics simulator from Eclipse*, you are restricted to localhost connection.
Launch the target startup script
run-command-file.simics .In the simulator console, run the following command:
start-eclipse-backend
Execute the following command inside the Simics simulator CLI to expose the simulation to the Intel® System Debugger:
start-eclipse-backend TCP::<port> "<session name>"
where:
port is any port that is not in use. If you pick a busy one and get an error, just try another one.
session_name (optional) is your custom name for the session.
The console returns your IP and port combination in the following format:
TCP:<ip>:<port> .
