Any kernel debugger command may be sent in raw mode. Debug engines that communicate in packet mode may wish to use raw mode to issue a .B command to set the communication rate for the serial connection.

To enter raw mode from packet mode, or to get the kernel debugger's attention while the system is running and enter raw mode, the debug engine should send a break character (^C or 0x03) and wait for the kernel debugger to issue a prompt.
