Extended Debugging Interface (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

The Extended Debugging Interface (eXDI) is an adaptation layer between Platform Builder and a debugging probe, such as a JTAG probe or in-circuit emulator (ICE). eXDI allows a user to control and debug a target device using an eXDI driver and a probe.

eXDI supports a wide variety of probes, including the Platform Builder kernel software probe, KdStub; hardware probes; software simulators; and post-mortem file readers.

Third-party hardware probe vendors who want to allow a Platform Builder customer to use their diagnostic equipment with Platform Build must write an eXDI driver for that purpose.
