debugWIRE is a serial communications protocol, designed by Atmel. It is used for for on-chip debugging of Atmel AVR microprocessors.

Protocol

debugWIRE is designed as simpler alternative to JTAG, aimed at processors with limited resources. It is supported by most modern 8-bit AVRs. By using debugWIRE you have full read and write access to all memory and full control over the execution flow.

Programmers

debugWIRE is supported by 3 programmer models, made by Atmel: AVR Dragon, AVR JTAGICE mkII and AVR One.
