| PLC | 1.0.1.2 | Windows | 1. UEFI/BIOS Smart Debug Information * -Error/Checkpoint/Guid Message clarification and color highlight * -User defined message filter and color highight (Support two uder defined sets) * -Quick message search and locate debug message * -Save debug message on the fly (save to file) * -Load debug message and analysis 2. Addon Debug Message Functions * - Calculate the timeing between two marked debug messages, can be used to measure and tune the BIOS POST time. * (Click the 'Time' button on tool bar to open the 'Time' Windows, then use 'SPACE' key to mark the message. * - GUID and Meaniningful name translation* Lookup the BIOS source code at startup. Once the GUID is displayed in the dbeug message, convert the GUID to the driver/protocol name of the GUID. * (Need to set the 'GUID File Path' in the "Config" window to point to the UEFI/BIOS source code) * (Click the 'Decode Messages' button in the tool bar to enable/disable the trsnslation. 2. USB * - USB topology map * - Save the USB topology map to TXT or ASL file * - Compare the USB topology map. Can be utilize to check if any USB device loss cross system boots. (support command line mode) * - ACPI ASL _UPC and _PLD generation for USB devices. 3. Disk * - Need to launch the application in Administrator right. * - View GPT/MBR information * - Check disk boot capability. 4. Console Redirection * - Click 'Terminal' button in the tool bar to open the console window. * - Support ANSI/VT100 (Similar to Putty/Teraterm) * - Capture screen to file. 5. SUT Control (Control M/B) * - Need specific hardware * - Support Web http/https request or windows exe/bat to control the M/B* - Support 'Level' or Pulse control * - Capable to control the M/B AC power or Power Button 6. UEFI Variable READ * - Need Administrator Right * - Read UEFI Variable in Windows(http://ubios.blogspot.com) |
| ACPIScope (Trial version) |
2.00.012 | Windows | ACPIScope is the advanced tool for visualization and debugging of ACPI information from different sources. |
| PCIScope (Trial version) |
4.00.018 | Windows | PCIScope is a powerful tool designed to explore, examine and debug PCI subsystem of your computer. It was made to fit the requirements of the most demanding users, especially engineers, programmers and system administrators, and to integrate all advanced functions and tools into one product. |
| DMIScope (Trial version) |
2.00.012 | Windows | DMIScope is a powerful tool designed to explore the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) also known as DMI BIOS.Some implementations of SMBIOS contain vendor specific information. DMIScope gives you the unique possibility to add descriptions of such structures via simple text file.) |
| MemDump | 2.00 | DOS | The MEMDump utility is designed to dump or copy any part of 4GB linear memory address space under MS-DOS and Windows 9x DOS to a console, text or binary file.You can use MEMDump for dump contents of PCI devices memory located outside of first megabyte, access USB structures, study contents of memory used by memory managers, etc. For proper access to hardware registers, memory can be read with BYTE, WORD or Double WORD granularity. Utility provides transparent access to memory with or without installed memory managers. |
| CrScreenshotDxe | 4 Jan 2016 | UEFI | This DXE driver tries to register keyboard shortcut (LCtrl + LAlt + F12) handler for all text input devices. The handler tries to find a writable FS, enumerates all GOP-capable video devices, takes screenshots from them and saves the result as PNG files on that writable FS. |
| UEFITool | 0.24.0 | Windows, Mac OS X and Linux | UEFITool is a cross-platform C++/Qt program for parsing, extracting and modifying UEFI firmware images.It supports parsing of full BIOS images starting with the flash descriptor or any binary files containing UEFI volumes.(https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool) |
| BinWalk | 2.1.1 | Linux | Binwalk can scan firmware images, detect signatures of file systems and file types. It can extract components from firmware image, even in form of compression. It can be used to generate entropy graph of firmware image.(www.binwalk.org) |
| Chipsec | 1.3.6 | Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and UEFI shell | CHIPSEC is a framework for analyzing the security of PC platforms including hardware, system firmware (BIOS/UEFI), and platform components.
