[coreboot] EHCI debug that supports both Linux and Windows as a host PC

Does a windows driver (for host PC where I want to see coreboot log) exist for this solution with BeagleBone?

The answer varies depending on your exact needs. If you are targeting only on coreboot log obtainment, the RaspberryPI/BeagleBone with dwc2 is probably cheapest cross-platform thing to use. For kgdb, this setup
*should* work, but this would add another level of complexity due to gdbserver spatial localization :) I`ve never tried working with combination of the RPI and usb-ip to pass dwc2 port over cdc-ethernet connection, this is the only major difference between 'real' dongle and cheap board-based setup.
