Microsoft’s WinDbg* is a kernel debugger which can debug certain processes via standard network, serial cable, USB, etc. If system integrators are stuck at a faulty software driver, the only solution to identify this bug is a JTAG-based connection, which basically halts the entire system. So Intel added a JTAG plug-in with an additional Intel® Processor Trace (Intel® PT) viewer to support the Windows* startup phase. This video will give you an introduction of that and show how to establish a connection to start using Intel Debug Extensions for WinDbg.
