Intel® System Debugger 2023 NDA Update 2350

Check the summary below or see the online version.

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.

Intel® Debug Extensions for WinDbg
  • Support for extraction of crashlog data from live target and memory dump using Intel® Debug Extensions.

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.

Intelligent Debug & Validation Tool (IDV Tool)
  • Enabling analog capture has been blocked for signals in BMC configurations, BMC supports only digital signals.

  • Fixed capture time value auto-multiplication if time unit was not entered.
