New Features

Target Connection Assistant

• Implemented hyper links in System Debug Log view. URLs are marked as hyperlinks and can be clicked to open their location in the associated default Eclipse* editor or with an external browser.

Intel® System Debugger - System Debug

• Arguments of the LoadThis command can now be customized by using the extension “Load Module (Custom Search)”.

• Added new PCI config space tab to the PCI devices view.

• Added Arrow Lake S platform registers to enable Platform Register Dictionary View.

Intel® System Debugger - System Trace

• Added BIOS support for Sierra Forest

• Added Secured Started Services Module (S3M) support for Sierra Forest.

• Added Simics® simulation support for Panther Lake.

• Added a new feature to TraceCLI which allows to send service messages from the debug host to the Intel® Trace Hub on the target. This allows to mark point of interests directly in the trace session (enabled for ADL and MTL).

  Example usage in Python* shell: trace.debug.start_​debug_​marker()

Intelligent Debug & Validation Tool (IDV Tool)

• Added lane reordering in timeline viewer by drag and drop

• Added support for hidden signals in lane order mappings

Fixed Issues

Target Connection Assistant

• Fixed hang on auto detection. If TCA has started OpenIPC to do auto detection it will automatically terminate OpenIPC to decrease detection time and prevent hangs on OpenIPC initialization.

• Fixed update flow on reset to query less data and delay refresh to post IPC reset complete event when target is released from boot stall. This improves early boot tracing and overall reset performance.

• Fixed usage of remote hardware connection. Support finding of new OpenIPC locations.

Intel® System Debugger - System Debug

• PCI Full Scan option is now displaying all devices in the list.

Intel® System Debugger - System Trace

• TODO

Intel® Debug Extensions for WinDbg

• Improved multiple breakpoints logic on Simics® simulation debug sessions.

• Fixed connection establishment to Sapphire Rapids platforms.

Intelligent Debug & Validation Tool (IDV Tool)

• Added restoring serial port communication to IDV Tool HW after resuming from Windows sleep or hibernation.
