Abstract
A system and method that allows debugging data to be stored without slowing down initialization is disclosed. The system includes a processor, a firmware read only memory (ROM), and a first memory device coupled to the firmware ROM. The firmware ROM can be a BIOS ROM. The first memory device is configured to store debug information from the firmware ROM prior to running an operating system on the processor. Having the firmware ROM store the debug information on the first memory device allows debug information associated with the firmware to be easily accessible without needing a debug firmware or a cable to receive outputs of the debug firmware.
