HI,
I am trying to configure the a system for Windows kernel debugging. This system runs WIndows XP.
IT has a COM port which i am trying to set a debug port from msconfig utility. I am successfully setting all the values in the msconfig screen like below
“Debug” checkbox checked.
“Debug port” checkbox is checked and COM2 is selected from the dropdown.
An baud rate of 19200 is chosen.
Rebooted the PC.
THe problem is that even after successfully rebooting the system in debug mode, i am still able to see COM2 in device manager. This means that this COM port is not configured for debugging successfully by the OS correct?
I have administrator priveleges on my system.
Below are the contents of boot.ini file of this system.
[boot loader]
timeout = 30
default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS = “Microsoft XP Professional (Memory: NT=2968 MB, MIL=96.0MB)” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /maxmem=2048 /debug /debugport=COM2: /baudrate=115200
ANy help is appreciated.
ANother point is that the COM port that i am using for debugging is mounted on a PCI-e card. It is not a standard serial port that comes inbuilt on the mother board.

You should not have a colon in the debug port. Just “/debugport=COM2” .

Hi RajuJayanthi,
Please do the following points :
- set debug mode on
- check parity checking (make sure even, odd or none any one is selected)
- stop bits : 8
- RX and TX , usually Rx is 3 and TX is 2 and grnd will be 5,
- please anode and cathod ( GND) of LED , ensure that once u reboot the
LED glow on and off. (this will ensure your comport is working or not
working by OS)
(alternative u can connect d type connect female type and connect LED and
examine these results)
By these exercise u can be sure the COM2 is working condition.
Regards

Hi Raju,
You can have one PCI based Serial Port Card mounted on the pci-slot to
enable ports i.ee COM1 and COM2

i RajuJayanthi,
Please do the following points :
- set debug mode on in command prompt for Windbg
- check parity checking (make sure even, odd or none any one is selected)
- stop bits : 8
- RX and TX , usually Rx is 3 and TX is 2 and grnd will be 5,
- please connect anode and cathod ( GND) of LED to d type connector ,
ensure that once u reboot the LED glow on and off. (this will ensure your
comport is working or not working by OS)
(alternative u can have connector of d type connected female type ,
connect LED and examine these results)
By these exercise u can be sure the COM2 is working condition.

To Tim Roberts,
The colon in " /debugport =COM2:" has been set when we select “COM2:” as debug port under debug option.
All COM ports available for debug port selection are usually displayed along with a colon.
