The agent-proxy suggestion was a lifesaver!! It makes it so much easier to debug the target board, and you can run it as a normal user when connecting to /dev/ttyUSB0.
I made the required changes to .gdbinit, and modified the Eclipse debugger settings to TCP/IP, with localhost and port 4441.
I also then go to the telnet terminal session, and then type
# echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
SysRq : DEBUG
Entering KGDB
and then launched eclipse debugger. It loads the vmlinux file, and a bunch of junk characters keep appearing continuously on the telnet session.
After about a minute or so, Eclipse terminates the session saying that it timed out. You can see this in the video. I edited the video, in between to trim off the long wait, with the characters scrolling in the terminal session, to the point where it crashes.
Best regards,
Elvis Dowson
