feature request: source-level debugging

[skochinsky]

This would be a killer feature but I imagine it can be a lot of work...
Even just WinDbg via Intel UEFI debugger would be awesome.

I think the UEFI debugger only works for NT binaries... it doesn't really support 'true' debugging of UEFI code, as far as I've ever seen. Source level debugging would be supported through WinDBG support in QEMU, which is being worked on :) Best regards, Alex Ionescu

AFAIK Intel's UDK debugger provides some kind of bridge for WinDBG over serial or USB, but the DebugAgentPei/DebugAgentDxe from SourceLevelDebugPkg need to be included into the firmware for it to work.

Hmmm I’ll give that a try...

Here's a post explaining how to get it working in QEMU:

Has any progress been made on this issue or anyone had success with skochinsky's method?

skochinky's method appears to require recompiling and configuration of the OVMF project. If anyone has made this work with VisualUEFI any tips would be helpful.
