Native debug services include Debug Messages, WinDBG (along with kernel debugger component, KDSTUB) and CESH. All these services are transport independent and configurable in Windows CE version 2.1, and they are also available for Ethernet debugging. In addition, an OEM can also extend this toolset to write their own debug tools via the Ethernet Debug (EDBG) API support in Windows CE. Specific to Drivers and OAL debugging, you could also use additional methods like LED macros/routines, Logic Analyzer Methods, ROMulators, and so forth. Windows CE version 2.1 also supports the standard Win32 ToolHelp and Debug APIs, so an OEM can write their own debugger if needed.
