Abstract
A communication system is provided for transmitting and receiving data cells containing control messaging and customer data, including a real-time development system (RDS) and means for generating a plurality of RDS events and RDS commands at predetermined locations within the communication system. Each of the RDS events having an event identifier and a variable length sequence of data bytes for defining the event. Each of the RDS commands having a command identifier and a variable length identifier for defining the command. The communication system also includes means for transmitting the RDS events and RDS commands as data cells throughout the communication system via identical communication links. The communication system also having means located throughout the communication system for selectively filtering the RDS events and RDS commands from the control messaging data and customer data. The communication system further includes means located throughout the communication system for displaying the RDS events which have been filtered for real-time diagnostics as well as means for supporting source and assembly level debug operations using the RDS commands and RDS events.
