Notes on the DDD Debug Layout Usage
Included with the user distributed layouts is also a DDD debug layout. This layout incorporates debug capabilities to be used by
OEM validation teams to provide logs and information about an issue to Intel engineering.
This layout is not to be included on production systems or to be shared with end-user customers.
To use the DDD layout, follow the instructions below:
1) Clean the Windows event log by the following commands with administrator prompt.
wevtutilcl system
wevtutilcl application
wevtutilcl Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig/Operational
2) Install DDD release.
3) Perform test until issue reproduction.
4) Note down the exact time when issue reproduced.
5) Disable WiFidevice in the device manager.
6) Copy all files below to share with Intel:
I. "System.evtx" under C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs
II. "Application.evtx" under C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs
III. "Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig%4Operational.evtx" under C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs
IV. "WiFiLog-XXX.log" under C:\
