 Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable MSRs,
PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows a user to export this data into a file that is
retrievable through the embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI methods, for the
purpose of sending to an Intel
®
engineer for an enhanced debugging capability. The files are compressed,
encrypted, and password protected. The file is not meant to be viewed by the end user but rather to
provide additional debugging capability to an Intel
®
support engineer.
From the System Debug Log screen you will be able to select either the “System Debug Log” or the
“System and BMC Debug Log”.
Select one of the two and press the “Run” button. It may take some time for the diagnostics to run.
Once the debug log dump is finished, you can click the diagnostic filename to save the results as a .zip
file on your client system. The file can be sent to your system manufacturer or an Intel
®
support engineer
for analysis.
