  • Patent number: 11526423
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless debugger and a wireless debugging system. The wireless debugger includes: a processor, a wireless communication module, and a first peripheral interface; the processor is electrically connected to the wireless communication module and the first peripheral interface, respectively; the processor, is configured to receive debugging instructions through the wireless communication module, and the debugging instructions are used to instruct debugging/stop debugging a target board; the processor, is further configured to parse the debugging instructions and convert the parsed debugging instructions so that the debugging instructions are adapted to a protocol of the first peripheral interface; and the processor, is further configured to transmit the converted debugging instructions to the to-be-debugged target board through the first peripheral interface. Debugging control is convenient and reliable.
