how to debug a driver remotely?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Recently a friend of mine asked me to port a PCI driver from 2.4 to
2.6, which I tried. But I learned that the device is custom made and
not commercially available. Since it is not available anywhere else,
he suggested me that I do remote debugging using telnet/ssh.

For all driver development efforts I have carried out so far, I had
free access to the device, the target machine and a serial port. Now
in this case, without a serial port and remote power off/on
facilities, I would like to ask the list about the options I have.

(I do not have a remote power on/off switch. The driver panics so
often that somebody has to babysit the machine to switch it off and
on.)

Regards,
Om.
