WINDBG 1394 FIREWIRE DEBUGGING PROBLEM

NTDEV
1

Hi guys!

I’m currently having problems with remote debugging via 1394 (firewire port).
I’ve read all Microsoft documents (including DW04001_WINHEC2004.ppt - 1394 kernel debugging
presentation) and i’ve googled for the same problem i’m having right now, and i haven’t
found any solution so i have decided to ask for help here.

I have added following options to the host boot.ini:
“/debugport=1394 /channel=42”

machine starts normally in the debug mode, the problem is i can’t connect to it
from other machine, here’s the output from the target:

set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=c:\windows\system32\symbols
set _NT_DEBUG_BUS=1394
set _NT_DEBUG_1394_CHANNEL=42
set _NT_DEBUG_LOG_FILE_OPEN=F:\DEBUG.LOG
windbg -k

windbg outputs:

Using 1394 for debugging
Opened \.\DBG1394_CHANNEL42

Microsoft (R) Windows Kernel Debugger Version 3.0.0020.0
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Waiting to reconnect…

And nothing more happens :frowning:
I tried disabling/enabling the host 1394 adaptor, changing debug channels with
the same results.

I have also uploaded two screenshots, with host adaptor enabled and disabled:
(the strange is when i disable the adaptor, the windbg 1394 drivers are also
not visible…)

Any ideas whats wrong? Thanks for help!

best regards,
