For debugging firmware, print statements (“printf”) are often our most powerful tool: some bugs are caused by complex sequences of events that are too long and intricate to root-cause using just breakpoints and watch windows. In this article, I write about my explorations into “at-speed printf”.

There have been numerous investigations into the use of the Performance Monitoring Counters (PMCs) for malware detection. Below is a quick survey of what I’ve read so far, as well as an investigation into using JTAG as an alternative access mechanism to traditional ring 0 or restricted OS mechanisms.

For each of the months of January, February and March, I did a webinar on JTAG-based debugging. Since each of the video recordings are about 45 minutes long, I thought it would be helpful to point out the highlights of each, if you don’t have time to sit through the full durations. At the risk of sounding immodest, there are some real gems of information within the demos of each webinar.
