In traditional embedded RTOS land, "system-level debugging". In the olden days one had to have BDM/JTAG hardware assist to step thru truly arbitary bits of code, like interrupt handlers, scheduler. The original question was about using using a hardware debugger. Clearly using gdb/gdbserver is for apps only, AFAIK. Does one bother with a h/w debugger for apps? Using kgdb with some kind of remote debug-agent would be a "system level debugger", a s/w solution to a traditional hardware only debug aid. At this time kind of pointless, as its painful to setup and JTAG debuggers are so cheap (for mainline CPUs). Geoff -- Geoffrey Espin espin@idiom.com --
