A Kind of Communication Protocol in Software Developing of Embedded System

In the course of software developing of embedded system, we usually use the remote debugger, which needs connection and communication between the host and target through the serial port, parallel port or Ethernet. Thus some effective and reliable communication protocol is eagerly needed. The paper presents a new communication protocol called EDP (Embedded Debugger Protocol) in embedded software developing. This protocol is proven successful on Intel Assabet(SA-1110).
