Introduction
In the realm of IoT and embedded development, serial debugging is an unavoidable “basic operation”. But when faced with various bizarre baud rates, strange parity bits, and the ever-confusing virtual serial ports, have you also experienced the following moments of frustration?
❌ Debugging tools lag more than the code❌ Manually typing AT commands to the point of warning for tendonitis❌ Important data not saved, having to recreate bugs until dawnIt’s time to upgrade your debugging gear! I recommend this open-source tool that engineers are calling “amazing”—UartAssist, which is like the “Swiss Army Knife” of serial debugging.
🚀 Core Features: Specializing in All Challenges
