US Patent 10049029 Networked multi-interface host debugger

A debugger is provided that is capable of connecting internally or externally to a host device using one or more of multiple host interfaces. The debugger can also connect, over a network, to a remote communication device executing a debugging application. Through the debugger, the debugging application receives messages from the host device regarding the status of a firmware on the host device, and sends debugging commands to the host device for performing operations such as updating the firmware on the host device.
