Hey guys, I have been trying for two days to set up kernel debugging and it simply does not work out well.
I am using an USB-Serial port on the host computer connected to a PCI Serial Port on the target machine. Could this be the problem?
I did check communication and it works fine… the debugger sends “iiii” and “b” when I click on break, but nothing happens on the target machine.
This is what I ve done so far:
Target Machine:
-bcdedit /debug on
-bcdedit /dbgsettings serial debugport:3 baudrate:115200
-reboot
-set same workgroup
-enabled file and printer sharing
-disabled password protection
-disabled all firewall
-set all inbound firewall rules to any IP according to msdn docs
-enabled administrator account and set a password to it in “Local Users And Groups”
-reboot several times in between these configuration changes
Host Machine:
-set baudrate to 115200 and chose the correct serial port
-Tried using both VS and WinDbg to do the kernel debugging
-In VS tried to setting manually, the dbg runs, says on the screen:
Opened \.\COM1
Waiting to reconnect…
PC\User (npipe WinIDE_01D05D081496CA15) connected at Thu Mar 12 18:04:17 2015
At the command line says:
Waiting to connect to target…
And it never breaks into the target machine.
-In WinDbg it says:
Opened \.\com1
Waiting to reconnect…
And in command line:
Debuggee not connected
And also never breaks into the target machine.
I have checked that the bcdedits are properly set, and they are. Help?
