- if you have jtag debuggers, nothing like that.,
  pls refer http://omappedia.org/wiki/Android_Debugging#Lauterbach_TRACE32
  you can debug starting right from bootloader, kernel, android init,
and any library.

- if you can get trace via debug port, you  can start logcat very
early from your init.rc, way before you get shell or adb.
   service logcat /system/bin/logcat -f /dev/kmsg
