Core kernel connectivity provides KITL-enabled connectivity to a target device via pre-defined kernel streams: the debug message stream, the target control stream, and the kernel debugger stream.

In addition, kernel connectivity provides run-time image download, target device reset, and debug break functionality.

The following table provides more information about service categories for kernel connectivity.

Kernel connectivity	Functionality	Interfaces
Kernel Download Services	Flashing a target device with a run-time image Booting a run-time image on a target device Accessing target device memory information, the IP address and name, and CPU information	ICcService ICcBootstrap ICcServiceConfigure (optional)
Kernel Transport Services	Enable clients to control the target OS through kernel level streams Provide, by default, two kernel streams: kernel debug messages and kernel target control Custom connection streams	ICcKitl ICcService ICcTransport ICcTransportStream ICcServiceConfigure (optional)
Other Kernel Services	Connect to the kernel debugger Receive debug messages at the console Use the Target Control command-line debugging tool Notify client applications of state changes	Debug Message Service Target Control Service Kernel Debugger Services Service Callback Service
