First Steps With SerialICE

Connect the target to your computer. Figure out the serial port that you can use to talk to it. Relative to the qemu directory in the SerialICE tree, call

$ cd SerialICE/simba
$ ln -sf ../../qemu-0.15.x/i386-softmmu/qemu
$ ./qemu -M serialice -serialice /dev/ttyUSB0 -singlestep -bios /your/bios/image > logfile.txt

This assumes that /dev/ttyUSB0 is your serial port. Replace as appropriate. You'll get a logfile.txt something like this:

SerialICE: Open connection to target hardware...
SerialICE: Waiting for handshake with target... target alive!

This is referred to as the raw logfile from qemu session. It usually shows more detail than you care to look at, so you will want to further process this through a replay script.

$ cat logfile.txt | lua replay.lua

The interesting part of the log is below, where loads from flash memory are hidden and PCI configuration access is translated. You can control the verbosity of the replayer with the parameters in user_env.lua file.
