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. 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 provides to a host of the embedded-system device control of a first serial port controller of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device further connects a serial port with the first serial port controller. The embedded-system device also determines whether the embedded-system device is in a predetermined condition. The embedded-system device disconnects the serial port from the first serial port controller and connecting the serial port with a second serial port controller when the embedded-system device is in the predetermined condition.
