Abstract
In this chapter, we will discuss the debugging of firmware for complex solid-state drives (SSDs). We will start by discussing some of the challenges of debugging firmware, such as the complexity of the firmware code and the difficulty of reproducing the problem. We will then discuss some of the techniques that can be used to debug firmware, such as using a debugger, adding trace output and logging, using simulation or emulation tools, using hardware probes, and using software tools. Finally, we will discuss how to recover a bricked SSD.
