Platform Builder enables you to use Extended Debugging Interface (eXDI) hardware-assisted debugging to control the execution of a target device, and to examine and modify the state of the device.
Hardware-assisted debugging enables debugging that is not otherwise supported by the default debugger in Platform Builder. For example, you can use hardware-assisted debugging to debug code used in hardware bring-up, boot loading, and to debug execution that occurs prior to the start of the kernel.
Third-party vendors provide the required hardware and software, which includes, at a minimum, a probe driver, and a probe.
The third-party vendor can also provide additional functionality through an external application that accesses the probe in parallel.
Platform Builder provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) interface to the third-party components.
