Yes, early boot USB debug over xHCI has been a low-priority feature request. Unfortunately, USB debug is an optional feature for xHCI host controllers, so many of them don't have USB debug ports. Even if it is included, the USB debug ports are often either routed to internal USB ports or not exposed on the board altogether. Since it's not widely available, it's not a high priority to implement. > If you and the other developers are able to help me out a bit as I am > new I can definitively write this > area of kgdb support. The kgdb support is all there. It's the xHCI host controller driver debug port support that is needed. Hmm, I only see one commit from your email address in Greg's tree. I think you should work on some smaller clean ups and bug fixes, and get some more patches into mainline before you go on to tackle a larger feature like this. Perhaps Mathias has a smaller task that would be good for you to tackle? There's a good tutorial here on how to create a kernel patch, and respond properly to patch review and rework requests: http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWfirstpatch And here's my personal philosophy on how to create a patchset: http://sarah.thesharps.us/2013/05/08/patchsets-for-dinner/ > Regards Nick > P.S.

I don't understand what the above sentence means. What commit message are you referencing? What do you mean by "remove in from mainline"? Try again?
