Hi,

Do AM4378 starter kit support any hardware kernel debugger.

If yes, can you suggest the debugger.

Thanks.

Hello Mrudhula,

There is already an XDS100V2 debugger embedded on the AM437x starter kit evm. From the hardware user guide:

JTAG The AM437x StarterKit EVM supports embedded XDS100V2 USB emulation through the micro-USB AB connector. The EVM also has an optional 20-pin TI CJTAG connector to support the emulation. This CJTAG connector is not installed by default. Other JTAG adaptors are available on TI's e-store.

If you are specifically asking about using a debugger to debug the Linux kernel, we do not have super recent documentation on that process. You can find the resources I am aware of here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1108360/sk-am62-code-composer-studio-failed-to-connect-to-xds-110-probe/4155604#4155604

Nick
