Commercial solutions often require full JTAG probes (e.g., Ulx2, MIPS Navigator) costing thousands of dollars. (often distributed as a suite of command-line executables) provides a "bare metal" interface to the EJTAG block. It allows developers to halt the CPU, read/write memory, and flash firmware using a simple Parallel Port (LPT) or USB-to-Parallel adapter. It represents a bridge between high-level software debugging and hardware-level interdiction.
