  • Protocol independent interface supporting general communications interface debugging and testing tool
    Patent number: 9489488
    Abstract: A protocol independent debugging tool for debugging communication interfaces of devices is disclosed. The debugging tool is configured to receive communication protocol plug-ins corresponding to different communication protocols. The debugging tool instantiates a stack interface from the protocol plug-in, such that the stack interface implements a protocol-specific stack wrapper that communicates with a device being tested. The stack specific wrapper receives commands from a command interface for the device being tested, generates data packets in accordance with the communication protocol of the device being tested, and transmits the data packets to the device being tested.
