Basic UEFI Debugging

Note

Review “DebuggingUEFI.txt” for basic debugging information. This file covers the additional steps for app module debugging.

1. Set the UEFI core and app module file paths

   1. Run uefi_core_set_path.cmm to set the path for the UEFI core:

      Usage: "do uefi_core_set_path.cmm <Core path>"
             Core path: absolute path to the target-specific tools
             e.g. <full path to build root>/boot_images/QcomPkg/<TargetPkg>/Tools
      

   2. Run app_set_path.cmm to set the path for the external module:

      Usage: "do app_set_path.cmm <App obj path> <App src path>"
             App obj path: absolute path to module's built object files
             App src path: absolute path to module's source code
      

2. Run the requisite scripts from the Tools folder

   1. Run debug_app.cmm with the same arguments as debug_uefi.cmm to start UEFI and debug an app or driver

   2. Run symbol_load.cmm to load symbols in any execution state of UEFI

Path Setting Details

Arguements to path setting scripts are optional. If none are provided, the directory from which the script is being run is take as the implicit path
