I am trying to debug aboot (aplication bootloader) on android and I have problems. I tried to patch the kernel to support KGDB serial debugging but the driver is loaded after aboot. Should I use an emulator? And if yes, how ?

aboot is HW platform dependent and normally is cryptographically signed. Emulator's aboot if exists will be a lot different than the real device.
You can probably debug it with vendor supplied ICE plus their special debug scripts.

Can you please suggest me from where to download Samsung's aboot debug scripts? – c1der c1der Aug 21 '16 at 14:16

And btw , sorry for being a n00b but what does ICE mean? – c1der c1der Aug 21 '16 at 14:20

`ICE` stands for `In-circuit emulator`. But @Y_Yen has probably meant `ICD` (In-circuit debugger) – Alex P. Aug 25 '16 at 23:39
