Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device receives first command or data through a first serial port of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device further exposes a second serial port to a host of the embedded-system device such that the host has control over the second serial port and receiving second command or data from the host for outputting at the second serial port. The embedded-system device also redirects the first command or data to the second serial port when the embedded-system device is in a first mode. The embedded-system device allows the second command or data to be output at the second serial port when the embedded-system device is in a second mode.
