Abstract
This document describes apparatuses and techniques for enabling a user to authorize access to early boot debugging of hardware issues in a computing system. In general, responsive to a user consenting to early boot debugging, a debug reenable signal is set in nonvolatile storage. Upon reinitialization of the computing system and receipt of an early debugging request, if the debug reenable signal is detected and the early debugging request is authenticated, an early boot debugging system is enabled. The user consent to early boot debugging may circumvent the setting of a fuse that otherwise would prevent performance of early boot debugging.
