Re: [edk2-devel] Using debugger to debug UEFI application?

I may be wrong, but I think Intel has put the Intel UDK debugger
solution as End-Of-Life. I'm not sure it's worth spending any time using
an end-of-life'd debugger solution. I think the main 2 alternatives to
the Intel UDK solution are: Intel System Studio (ISS), or Tianocore's
SourceLevelDebugPkg.

Over time, ISS has only been available if you registered, or not even as
freeware, so was only an option for some. But currently ISS is
freely-available without registration. ISS is not end-of-life, and I
presume they have a tech support team to help paying users with
questions, if that helps with your current situation.

There is at least one gdb-server project for UEFI outside the Intel UDK
solution and outside Tianocore:

https://github.com/night199uk/edk2-gdb-server

I think there is a second one, but I can't find it at the moment. I wish
Intel would open-source the Intel UDK debugger code, including it's
gdb-server, instead of just killing it off. Perhaps the Tiancore
community would make use of some of the code. Anything to improve UEFI
debugging is a worthy effort. 

Servers aside, I really I wish there there was an lldb.efi and a gdb.efi...
