Does this device have a serial port that can be used as a console?
Well, it does on the board, but I do not have the requisite voltage
converter, so I'm just relying on the net. At the moment, I ssh into the
box and track /var/log/messages, which gets populated, as expected.
If not you may be able to use a network console (see
Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt in the kernel sources).
That will require that you can set the kernel command line from
the bootloader and probably recompile the kernel (as it is
unlikely to have netconsole support builtin)
I'll try to throw netconsole in. But is it not going to be the same set
of messages I get via syslog? And why don't I see much in
/var/log/messages. Can I alter some flags in to make it more verbose.
Usblp is sprinkled around with lots of dbg(...) calls, I'm surprised not
any of those make it to /var/log/messages.
There is also busybox's syslogd, which I could redirect to host:port
using -R :)
Will netconsole give anymore insights.?
cheers
