I am looking to start work on an embedded system application. Rather than use in circuit emulation I want to try remote debugging using a resident monitor in the target hardware. I will be working with 80286 systems. Any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. So far I have seen ads for a few packages available from: Systems & Software, Datalight, and First Systems Corporation. One main requirement is that hooks are provided so that I can substitute my own communications protocol between the remote debugger and the resident monitor. The ones I've seen all use serial channel communications. This will just not cut it for me for a number of reasons. Thanks for any information.

The obvious answer: you want Forth, the embedded systems programming language/op system/monitor with "live feedback". Check out the Laboratory Microsystems and Harvard Softworks offerings of target compilers and resident systems. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {} {} {} jax@well ."
