Anybody Here Use a Kernel Debugger With Their Debug Kits?

Hello,

I am looking at making a few of these for myself, and I'm wondering if anybody here has used one, or anything similar to it? I'm not familiar with kernel debugging using Super I/O, but it seems like something that could be useful if I want to learn all I can from the hardware of this system.

What that board does is replaces the expensive board found in original devkits, and allows for people to use a serial port on the console. This is done through super i/o, and is mainly used for kernel debugging with WinDbg.

The particular board I linked to in my first post was created by xbox7887 on the XboxDev discord. It also contains a USB serial converter allowing you to connect it very easily to modern PCs.

yeah, I've read about it long time ago. Just have no idea what you can do with it? are you about to work on kernel stuff?

I want to learn about the Xbox hardware, and I figure I need to start somewhere. I already have a few motherboards to test and then play around with, along with having a few miscellaneous items like a tsop socket, extra ram, and a PC buzzer. 

Kernel debugging would also be cool to try, and since I already have the main IC needed for it, I figured I might as well buy the rest of the components, and build a couple of the boards myself. Then I'll have one for a test system, and one for a retail to debug conversion.

So to answer your question, I  not working on kernel stuff right now, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future. It all depends on what I'm capable of doing.
