kgdb on DM814x

Hi ,

We are working on a development board which has come from APPRO with ipnc_rdk.3.0 .

I am trying to setup kgdb over serial console for the above board.

I tried the steps in  following threads

 http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/416/t/139434.aspx

http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/p/132640/479435.aspx#479435

As mentioned on the above threads  we applied a patch on drivers/serial/omap-serial.c .

Still we are facing the following issues.

1. Even if we give bootargs as kgdboc="tty0O, 115200" kgdbwait  , target board is not waiting on booting for remote gdb connection.

2. After the target board is booted we followed the steps below.

     On target side  :

          echo ttyO0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

           echo g >/proc/sysrq-trigger

     On PC side :

            gdb ./vmlinux

             set remotebaud 115200

             target remote /dev/ttyS0

    A few times, we are able to establish gdb connection between host to target, but  we are not able to type any characters on target serial console.

     Most times we are not even able to establish the connection and  on host side we get gdb messages like

 "Ignoring packet error, continuing.."

 On the target console we  get some garbage messages .

Is there any patches available to resolve these ?

Do we have  patches for kgdb over ethernet ?
