The Modtronix Embedded Debugger is an utility for displaying debug information generated by an embedded board. Currently it only supports RS232 communication. The embedded board generates "debug messages", and writes it out via it's RS232 port. This debug information consists out of a "debug code", "message code" and optional "message parameters". On receiving the debug information, the Modtronix Embedded Debugger will look up the message assigned to the received "message code" in one of the project files, and display it in the Debug Tab indicated by the received "debug code". Using this method to output debug information means that the embedded board only needs to send a short message (typically two bytes long) for a detailed debug message to be displayed. This saves both code space in the embedded board's CPU, and requires less time to send the message.
