New Features
- Target Connection Assistant
Added a new dialog in the UI to show the latest version of Intel® System Debugger.
Added support in the CLI for connecting to the local system, called On-Target connection.
- Intel® System Debugger - System Debug
- Enabled Platform Register context for Simics® simulator connections. From Simics® simulator Base 173 a new context, called Platform Registers has been accessible. This context is now accessible through the
Platform Registers Dictionary view. R/W actions can be performed to the register that are show on this context. Also they can be added to Platform Register Watch view and perform R/W operation on the bitfields through the Register Editor View. Due to the high among of register that this context contains the search is also enabled.
Added limited support for the extended PCI configuration space. Current implementation supports the extended PCI configuration space during early EFI boot stage only. Added a new context called PCIExtCfg. This context is now accessible through the PCI Devices view, when the extended PCI configuration space is enabled with the new button.
Added hexdump export format for I/O Port, MSR and PCI raw views.
Added write access for PCI Devices view.
Extended Load Current Module, LoadPEIM, BIOSROM and LoadDXE support for BIOS (EDK II) GCC builds.
- Intel® System Debugger - System Trace
Added TraceCLI command line options for Catalog Service configuration (check ‘intel_systrace catalog_remote –help’)
intel_ontarget_trace now supports platform detection using TCA, as well as detection of BIOS, CSME and Audio FW version. This information will be used to select right catalog.
Added support for ARL-H.
Added support for GNR-D.

Fixed Issues
- Target Connection Assistant
Fixed various issues with the UI terminal on recent versions of Windows 11.
- Intel® System Debugger - System Debug
Fixed kernel module loading with “Load Linux Kernel Modules from Kernel Image Folder” button.
Fixed source loading in module view for elf symbols.
Fixed PCI Devices raw view for devices with address 0.
- Intel® System Debugger - System Trace
Fixed ACE catalog matching in TraceCLI.
Fixed memory extraction by using trace extraction service.
Fixed pre-BIOS NPK tracing from Bootstall Throws Errors.
Fixed early boot script fails during capture. Note: due to bad power supply might get Power On events during power Off, that would confuse early boot script.
Run memory sanitizer and thread sanitizer on engine and tms services. Fix various number of issues that improves tool stability.
