Preface

As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well , you must first sharpen your tools. In embedded development , it is often necessary to debug various communications between the board and the PC , and serial ports, Ethernet and USB are some of the more common communications. Being able to monitor these data streams without any impact will greatly improve the efficiency of debugging. There is a Swiss Army knife-level PC tool that has the ability to monitor these three interfaces at the same time. In this article, we will share this tool, Device Monitoring Studio .
