Abstract

A main challenge with developing applications for wireless embedded systems is the lack of visibility and control during execution of an application. In this paper, we present a tool suite called Marionette that provides the ability to call functions and to read or write variables on pre-compiled, embedded programs at run-time, without requiring the programmer to add any special code to the application. This rich interface facilitates interactive development and debugging at minimal cost to the node.
