  • Firmware debug trace capture using serial peripheral interface
    Patent number: 10866922
    Abstract: Debug trace statements from a firmware are captured during a boot cycle of a computer executing the firmware. The debug trace statements are written to a motherboard's Serial Peripheral Interface (“SPI”) device. A microcontroller's SPI device receives the debug trace statements from the motherboard's SPI device, transforms the data format of the debug trace statements, and transmits the transformed debug trace statements over a serial communications port of the microcontroller.
