Before You Begin

Important:

For Windows* 10 version lower than 1803, checked builds of the Windows* ACPI driver (Acpi.sys) are used. Starting from version 1803, checked builds are no longer required for using Microsoft* AMLI Debugger.

Due to nature of JTAG hardware debugger design, Windbg* over Intel(R) Direct Connect Interface (Intel(R) DCI) supports only commands from AMLI Debugger extensions. These extensions have a syntax of !amli command.

For more information, refer to the Microsoft* AMLI Debugger documentation.

Note:

Executing debugger commands from the interactive Microsoft AMLI Debugger mode is not supported. The extension reference in this user guide descibes exactly what is supported by WinDbg* over Intel(R) DCI. Please check the included reference first before referring to the general Microsoft* documentation.

Before you begin ACPI debugging, complete the following setup steps:

  1. Ensure that the target system has the appropriate version of the Acpi.sys driver installed.

  2. Connect to WinDbg* over Intel(R) DCI.

  3. Reload ACPI symbols by executing the following command:

!reload /f acpi.sys
  1. Configure the Microsoft* AMLI Debugger via the !amli set extension. For best experience, specify all options listed in the referred page.
