Is it not possible to introduce *SerialPortWrite* Calls into Bootloaded
code?
Have you tried
i think if you have JTAG debuggers like Arium/ITP/HDT
through WINDBG you should be able to breakthrough
I think if you have Tiano source level debugging macros you should be able
to break into UEFI source

Though i have never worked on bootloaders, that is my vague idea

Any comments from experts?
