OpenSDA: Open-Standard
Serial And Debug Adapter
The integrated debug circuit, OpenSDA,
bridges serial and debug communications
between a USB host and an embedded
target processor. OpenSDA features a mass
storage device bootloader that provides
a quick and easy mechanism for loading
different OpenSDA applications such as flash
programmers, run-control debug interfaces,
serial-to-USB converters and more, including:
• Freescale mass storage device flash
programming interface that eliminates
tool installation for quick evaluation of
demonstration applications
• P&E Multilink interface that provides
run-control debugging and compatibility
with IDE tools
• SEGGER OpenSDA firmware makes
OpenSDA compatible to J-Link Lite
• mbed interface application that provides
connection to mbed online tools and
supports a virtual serial port, CMSIS-DAP
and a mass-storage programming interface
• CMSIS-DAP interface (standalone):
new ARM standard for embedded
debug interface
