2.3.1 Configure Communications

In an elevated command prompt on the target system, issue the following command to tell the Windows on-target debug agent how to connect to the debugger outside of Simics:

> BCDEDIT /DBGSETTINGS NET HOSTIP:<DebugHostIP> BUSPARAMS:<B.D.F>
PORT:<Port> KEY:1.2.3.4
  

where:

• <DebugHostIP> is the service node/gateway IP. It is used to communicate with the the outside world.
• <B.D.F> is the BDF of the network card, as shown in section 2.1.2.
• <Port> is a port you need to choose for the connection, typically somewhere above 50000. Say 50010 as a default.
• The Key is a value used to secure the connection. Make sure to use the same value everywhere it is required. You can use 1.2.3.4 to keep things simple.

In the setup used for the example:

> BCDEDIT /DBGSETTINGS NET HOSTIP:10.10.0.1 BUSPARAMS:0.25.0 PORT:50010
KEY:1.2.3.4
