Hi,
I tried to debug the linux kernel with kgdb (over serial port).
The Maintainers would never recommend the use of a debugger, it results in poorly fixed patches.
Yeah, KGDB was accepted into kernel exactly for more "poorly fixed patches" to appear. :-)
I have configured the host and target machines and I am able to connect, step in the kernel code. In gdb I gave "break usb_register_dev" and "break usb_deregister_dev" and continued the execution (continue in gdb). Once the desktop is up, I connected a USB device (first tried with USB keyboard). Break point was not hit. I tried some more functions and break points are never hit. What should I do for it? Am I missing something?
You have to use gdbserver
gdbserver is only good for debugging the applications. WBR, Sergei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
