Patent attributes
A technical problem faced when remotely controlling or debugging electronic devices is that remote control or debugging often requires a direct connection. However, debugging ports are inaccessible on many devices. Technical solutions described herein provide systems and methods for secure communication via existing communication infrastructure (e.g., public instant messenger (IM)), providing various debugging abilities including debugging and file sharing. Technical solutions described herein also provide systems and methods for debugging based on remote device memory state collection and sending for embedded or IoT devices. This solution avoids a hardware debugging connection by using a debugging methodology resident on the device to read and dump the relevant memory, registers, and other device state information in a secure and automated manner.
