Enabling Kernel Debugger Support (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

To enable the kernel debugger service, you must first build a run-time image that supports kernel debugging.

Kernel debugging also requires a KITL transport, or a transport for hardware-assisted debugging. If you use kernel debugging for software debugging, be sure to also choose the Enable KITL build option.

When you enable kernel debugging, Platform Builder includes the debugger stub, kdstub.dll, in the run-time image.

To enable kernel debugger support

  1. From the Platform menu, choose Settings.

  2. In the Configuration box, choose a debug configuration.

  3. On the Build Options tab, select the Enable Kernel Debugger check box and then choose OK.

  4. From the Target menu, choose Connectivity Options.

  5. In the Target Connectivity Options dialog box, choose Kernel Service Map.

  6. In the Debugger box, choose the debugger you want to use.

    Be sure that a specific debugger option is selected; if the NONE option is selected here, debugging will not be enabled.

  7. From the Build OS menu, choose Build and Sysgen.

    The debugger starts by default after you download a debugger-enabled run-time image or a debug run-time image.

    The Status Monitor displays the status of each remote service. For more information about the Status Monitor, see Status Monitor.
