Abstract:
1. A method for debugging a read only memory (ROM) in a wireless target device running an application program and including a debug monitor program, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between the target device and a host computer; receiving a debug mode change command from the host computer by the application program running on the target device via a wireless communication interface in the target device; parsing the wireless communication interface with the monitor program; receiving, by the monitor program, a debug instruction from a debugger in the host computer wherein the debug instruction includes an entry address and a jump address; jumping to the received jump address upon reaching the entry address location in the application program running in the target device; transmitting an acknowledgement from the target device to the debugger in the host computer; and receiving, in response to the acknowledgement, a second debug instruction from the debugger in the host computer.
