Debug Component Architecture Overview—Security Software
6.5 Data Structure Dump
Note: The Data Dump feature is not supported in the current software release.
Many of the software components in the Intel
®
EP80579 Integrated Processor maintain
a certain amount of state information — debug counters, state variables, and so on —
to help understand the current state of that software, and thereby debug or
troubleshoot an application. This data is in addition to statistics maintained as part of
the application (for example, counters required to support Management Information
Bases, or MIBs). Data dump is a mechanism to retrieve these debug data structures.
Data dump provides a simple API with which a customer application can request the
internal data structures and other information associated with the internal software. On
receiving such a request for data dump information, the acceleration software gathers
and provides necessary data to understand the internal state of the software.
On discovering an issue, the end-user should use this facility to dump the log and
forward it to the Intel TME for further analysis of the problem.
