You're supposed to have one of these from wherever you got the RDI
device.  The DLL interface is the only one ARM supports or documents,
as far as I remember.  What it actually speaks looks like ADP, the
underlying proprietary protocol.

It's possible that I am mistaken and the ADP DLL is supposed to come
from the ARM tools rather than the device.  I'm not sure what to
suggest, then.  You may need to ask EPI about this; their FAQ hasn't
been updated in years, but does reference "target rdi".

EPI was bought by Mentor Graphics and has declared the Jeeni at its end-of-life, making it impossible to get any resources from the manufacturer. So, here's my plea. If anyone knows of a RDI-to-ADP (DLL interface to TCP stream) dynamic library that can be used with the rdi-stub utility, I'd be very interested in seeing it! If one exists, it might have come either from EPI or possibly with ARM's development tools.

If one were to grep through their proprietary toolchain, I'm
interested in hearing about any solib that defines the symbol
`QuerySORDI'.

Thanks for any information you can give! Cheers,
Shaun
