Hi Ran,

The KGDB is a debugger for the Linux kernel. Its scope is not limited only for the DaVinci but the KGDB can be used with OMAP and other ARM processors and other various architectures also. For more details about KGDB usage read the linked articles:

Hi Cvetolin,

In The SDK there is no support for etherent kgdp (though this is the method used in TI's descrption), when trying to use the serial interface for kgdb it gives exception, so I'm not sure how I can use kgdb with SDK.

Thanks,
Ran
