Debugging a Driver

Debugging a kernel-mode driver requires two computers. The debugger runs on the host computer, and the code being debugged runs on the target computer. The target computer is also called the test computer. You can debug a user-mode driver on the host computer or on a separate target computer. Before you can debug a driver running on a target computer, you must configure the target computer for debugging.

For general information about debugging drivers, see Getting Started with Windows Debugging.

For information about configuring a target computer and setting up a debug cable using a network connection, see Setting Up KDNET Network Kernel Debugging Automatically.
