3. Open the Soft<strong>Debugger</strong>.ini file from Windows:<br />
Start -> All Programs -> <strong>Intel</strong> UDK <strong>Debugger</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> -> Change Configurations<br />
4. Review the settings and make sure they are appropriate for the target platform.<br />
Specify the Debug Port/Channel as USB or serial, depending on the type of debug<br />
cable used to connect the host and target systems. If the Channel is set to USB, the<br />
other debug port parameters are ignored.<br />
Make sure the Debug Port/Port setting reflects the correct COM (communication)<br />
port being used.<br />
Change the Debug Port/FlowControl setting to 0 if the platform doesn’t provide<br />
the SerialPortLib instance with flow control enabled. The flow control setting should<br />
be the same on both the host and target systems. If flow control is disabled, a lower<br />
baud rate may be necessary for a stable connection.<br />
The host configuration file includes the baud rate setting. The baud rate should<br />
be the same on both the host and target machines.<br />
Use the Target System/ProcessorCount setting to specify the number of logical<br />
processors in the target.<br />
Note: A dual-core processor with hyper threading (two threads per core) means there<br />
are four logic processors. A value greater than four is also acceptable.<br />
Make sure the <strong>Debugger</strong> section reflects the correct WinDbg installation path.<br />
4.4 Connect the host and target systems<br />
The host and the target machines must be connected with a debug cable. The debug<br />
cable used depends on the operating system and the firmware configuration of the target<br />
system. The <strong>Intel</strong> UDK <strong>Debugger</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> supports these cables:<br />
Null modem cable<br />
USB debug cable<br />
If a USB debug cable is used, the correct USB port on the target machine must be specified<br />
(see the next discussion).<br />
At this time, USB drivers are available only for Windows XP* 32bit and Win7 64bit OS’s.<br />
Note: Always connect the USB debug cable to HOST before connecting to TARGET.<br />
Once both the host and target systems have been configured and connected, a debug<br />
session can be started.<br />
The next section provides detailed information about building the firmware image.<br />
<strong>User</strong> information about the debugger follows that.<br />
