[SOLVED] UEFI debugging
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2017 11:42 am
I'm trying to debug my UEFI application, however I'm having problems loading the debug symbol file. I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.osdev.org/Debugging_UEFI_ap ... s_with_GDB
Here's my UEFI boot file:
Here's the image base displayed: 0x6738000
Here's my GDB commands and the error produced:
Here's my makefile stuff:
Here's my UEFI boot file:
Code: Select all
EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE* systemTable;
EFI_LOADED_IMAGE* loadedImage;
extern "C" EFIAPI EFI_STATUS efi_main(EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE* _systemTable) {
systemTable = _systemTable;
EFI_STATUS status = uefi_call_wrapper(
(void* ) systemTable->BootServices->HandleProtocol, 3, ImageHandle,
&LoadedImageProtocol, (void** )&loadedImage);
if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
crash("error while checking image base");
}
// disable the watchdog timer - if this is enabled, the firmware will reset the system after 5 minutes
EFI_STATUS watchdogStatus = uefi_call_wrapper((void*) systemTable->BootServices->SetWatchdogTimer, 4, 0, 0, 0, NULL);
if(watchdogStatus != EFI_SUCCESS) {
crash("error while disabling the watchdog timer");
}
#ifdef DEBUGGING
InitializeLib(ImageHandle, systemTable);
Print((CHAR16*) L"Image base: 0x%lx\n", loadedImage->ImageBase);
int wait = 1;
while (wait) {
__asm__ __volatile__("pause");
}
#endif
kernel_main();
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}Here's my GDB commands and the error produced:
