EFI Debugging via SourceLevelDebugPkg

[YurySp]

Hello.

I'm using EDK2 SourceLevelDebugPkg (DebugAgentDxe.efi) + Intel(R) UEFI Development Kit Debugger Tool + WinDbg + VMware Workstation for EFI debug on Windows host.

- configure VMware SerialPort pipe

- put DebugAgentDxe.efi on Windows guest EFI partition

- reboot

- run VMware EFI shell

- load DebugAgentDxe.efi from EFI partition

- connect to VMware via Intel(R) UEFI Development Kit Debugger Tool

On VMware10 and older it's work fine. But I try to use Vmware12 and get hang on DebugAgentDxe.efi loading.

I am using VMWare Workstation 14 Pro and the Shell hangs after loading DebugAgentDxe.efi and never returns.

It will greatly help if anyone can give detailed steps to get UEFI SourceLevelDebugPkg to work using VMWare!

Similarly fail on VMware Workstation 14 Pro.

DebugAgentDxe.efi works on Hyper-V. Intel UDK must be runned under administrator.

I do have the same issue with 15.5.1. After "Debug Agent: Initialized Successfully!" message and the prompt are displayed, it does not accept input anymore. I would greatly appreciate if someone can help resolve this issue.
