Hi!

This is a terminal software, meant to be used with a suitable server. It's not a debugging tool. If there is a server at work on your board, okay, then. But you cannot just "hook it up" and expect to be able to debug the board...

Debugging is best done in a simulator before pumping the software into the board...

Good luck

Putty is ssh/telnet client and terminal emulator that can be used with a embed system. If your embed does have the port available and services are started then you can communicate via a shell.

As to debug, most embed system do have toolkits to support interactive debugging. Sure you could use the Putty terminal on a MS Windows or Gnu/Linux based system to have interactive control as long as the embed supports such actions.
