About SourcePoint for Intel

SourcePoint is a powerful debugger for complex multiprocessor software for the latest Intel processors. Its support for Intel silicon soon after it’s available, and Intel CScripts support, ensure timely board bring-up and platform validation.

SourcePoint is the premier UEFI debugger for code development. Navigating the ever-growing UEFI code base is critical to minimizing bug identification cycles and shortening development time.

By working with the latest silicon trace features, like Intel Processor Trace and Trace Hub, SourcePoint finds bugs fast, slashing debug time.

SourcePoint operates in multiprocessor environments and runs on MS Windows. Features are added constantly to keep up with the ever-changing nature of software development challenges.

Hardware for SourcePoint Intel

Intel JTAG debugger products are designed to make the developerโ€™s job easier. We have worked with Intel for over fifteen years, providing tools that are feature-rich in both hardware and software, making it easy for the user to accelerate development time. An example is UEFI development, where we provide macro files that allow for context-sensitive debugging in the PEIM, DXE and other boot phases.
