Reliance on legacy methods of probing buses and signals with dedicated, proprietary debug and test equipment across layers can be impractical. It's often too disjointed, too complex and too costly—particularly with so many different components working together across today’s systems for mobile, IoT, automotive, industrial, 5G and other ecosystems.
To solve this, the MIPI Debug Working Group develops low-cost and interoperable hardware and software interface and protocol specifications that work together across the full stack, leveraging functional interfaces as often as possible to improve the applicability of designers’ existing toolsets and hold down costs. Updates to four of these specifications have been recently released.
