Boundless
A GDB debugger on a chip. Solder it onto your board next to the microcontroller, and from then on you can debug over WiFi instead of plugging in a probe.

A GDB debugger on a chip. Solder it onto your board next to the microcontroller, and from then on you can debug over WiFi instead of plugging in a probe.
A debug probe works fine on the bench. It gets awkward once the board is closed in a housing, mounted on a machine, or sitting at a customer's site. Then every bug means opening something up, or driving somewhere.
Boundless stays on the board for good. It connects to the microcontroller's debug interface and talks to your computer over WiFi, so you use GDB the way you already do: breakpoints, stepping, reading memory and registers.
It can also flash new firmware to the target and update its own firmware over the air. With the cloud service you can manage firmware on devices that have already shipped.
Add the Boundless chip to your board design and connect it to the microcontroller's debug pins.
Power the board and connect from your machine. GDB works as usual, just without the cable.
Push firmware updates and debug devices in the field, through the cloud if they're far away.
Breakpoints, stepping, memory and register inspection. No cable, no probe.
Update the firmware on your target and on Boundless itself, without touching the device.
Keep track of firmware versions and push updates to devices that are already deployed.
It's a chip, not an adapter. It lives on the board permanently and needs no external hardware.
Debug a running machine from the next room or another city, without stopping production to get at it.
Industrial controllers, electric surfboards, a single prototype or a whole fleet. Any embedded target with a supported debug port.
