how to use kgdb under Montavista linux of DM365

I want  to use KGDB to debug the linux kernel. The version of kernel of linux is 2.6.18.I download the patch of KGDB from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git;a=tags which is v2.6.18

After I finished the patch, I ran the command make menuconfig.I cannot find the item of KGDB.

Why ? Thanks all!

  • Hi Tony,

    Have you referred this?

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debugging_on_DaVinci_using_kgdb

    It says something like

    "Linux kernel kgdb patches are currently (~2.6.23 time) not part of the official Linux git Kernel and therefore are not included in DaVinci git kernel as well."

    So maybe git patches wont work for Montavista.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Sid
