That's a good example. I mainly use it so that the output from debug printf
statements appears on the GDB console (stdin/stdout get mapped to the GDB
console). You might also have an application that needs to save some data
that it generates on to a PC. This is a very simple way to do that, without
requiring much to be implemented on the target.

If it helps to explain it, I've attached some example code showing how the
target specific code could be implemented.
