Debug technology provides new options
OCD Commander users can now pop up a virtual terminal that lets them type in commands and receive responses to/from software they load and run on the target CPU.
Macraigor Systems' On-Chip Debug Technology (OCDemon) now offers the ability to access the debug communications channel (DCC), which resides in the ARM Embedded ICE The DCC is accessed by the host via JTAG while the target processor, running in real-time, accesses the channel via coprocessor instructions

OCDemon, the industry-leading on-chip debug technology, has been selected for Intel's IQ80315 software development and processor evaluation kit and is also available for the IOP331 I/O processor.
This allows for additional methods of debug and real-time sharing of information.
Macraigor Systems has augmented its tool suite to take advantage of this capability.

OCDRemote can now create DCC TCP/IP ports that transfer data packets to/from the target via Ethernet.
A new freeware utility, DCCTermina,l provides a virtual terminal that lets users connect remotely to OCDRemote's DCC port(s) and then receive data packets from the DCC-aware application running on the target.
Macraigor's example GNU/Eclipse Project Directory now includes DCC-aware demo projects for the Freescale iMX21 ADS (ARM 926), the Freescale iMX27 ADS (ARM 926 on multiple-device JTAG scan chain) and the STMicro STR710 (arm7tdmi) evaluation boards.
Each example contains the source, makefile, ldscript, gdbinit and README files.
