Wireless Remote Debugging with the WRD/Probe – Reserve & save now!

Wireless Remote Debugging

The WRD/Probe helps embedded developers start field testing earlier and achieve faster time-to-market by enabling global access via GDB debug session and serial console.

In addition to firmware updates, reset, and power on/off, the target's energy consumption can also be precisely monitored – ideal for battery-powered devices.

The WRD/Probe automatically establishes an encrypted end-to-end tunnel via mobile communications between the development environment and the target in the field, enabling monitoring, flashing, and debugging. This means that embedded development and after-sales service are independent of location and infrastructure throughout the entire product lifecycle.

In addition, the WRD/Probe provides embedded developers with a complete OTA infrastructure without the target itself having to be OTA-capable. This allows field testing on real hardware in the actual application environment to begin earlier – for faster time-to-market with minimal travel expenses.

Plug & Play in 3 Steps

1. Unpack & switch on

1. Unpack & switch on

After switching on, the WRD/probe connects automatically to the SSV rendezvous server (WRD Services) via LTE-M thanks to the pre-installed SIM card incl. traffic.

2. Install client & pair

The workstation is then paired with the WRD/Probe. To do this, the WRD/Client on the workstation generates a flicker code with a key, which is read in via the photo transistor on the WRD/Probe.

3. Connect target & debug!

Finally, the target device is connected to the WRD/Probe via GDB or UART, and debugging can begin! It doesn't matter whether the field test takes place just around the corner or hundreds of kilometers away; all that is required is mobile network coverage.

The "Virtual" Debug Cable

Function of the WRD/Probe

The WRD/Probe was specially designed for field testing of (wireless) IoT devices and embedded systems under real-world conditions.

The development of IoT devices poses many challenges: The MCU and embedded operating system, various sensors, RF communication, and, in some cases, battery power supply make an IoT device a highly complex system that can only be comprehensively tested to a very limited extent within a development environment using simulated environmental parameters and largely ideal environmental conditions.

For these reasons, numerous debugging tasks must be performed directly in the application environment using a field or end-to-end (E2E) test.

With the WRD/Probe, embedded developers get a complete OTA infrastructure without the target itself having to have OTA capability. This means field tests can start earlier – for a faster time-to-market with reduced travel costs.

The WRD/Probe has a battery life of up to 12 months without recharging, depending on the actual usage and the connected target. It can be used anywhere in the world where there is an LTE-M connection and connects fully automatically to your development environment via a rendezvous service on the Internet (WRD Services).

It uses common standards and offers a GDB interface that integrates seamlessly into your familiar development environment such as VSCode or Eclipse. This creates a “virtual” debug cable, so to speak.

Starting the build process, setting breakpoints, checking variables, etc. remains unchanged, so you can maintain your usual workflow.

And all this without compromising security: The WRD/Probe connects to your workstation via an encrypted end-to-end tunnel, which is established through out-of-band pairing with a flicker code.
