Problem with Firewire (1394) debugging

WINDBG
1

Hi,

I am using WinDbg 6.0.17.0 (latest version as of 22-10-2002). The target
machine is Windows XP checked build with SP1, and the host is Windows XP
Professional Free build. I can successfully connect to the target with
serial connection, however there is a problem when I try to connect using
1394.

While using 1394 , the connection is successfully established. But the
messages stop after some time.
Is there any known bug in 1394 connection?
I want to use it because the speed of passing info on serial connection is
too low. Is there any other alternative?

Attached below is a log of messages I get using 1394 connection.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I had a problem where the 1394 debug connection was lost during the boot
process, the solution was to disable the 1394 controller in device manager
on the target system.

Disabling the 1394 controller on the test system does for the most part fix
the problem. I still see on occassions where the connection gets dropped
after it has been made with no indication that the disconnect has occurred
(i.e. WinDbg still shows debugee is running).
