Hello everyone,

                 I have got a OMAP 3530 EVM and i'm trying to debug the kernel using CCSv4 with the help of Blackhawk 560 Emulator .I'm able to halt the the processor at the kernel but not able to load the symbols/programs and proceed further with applying breakpoints..etc. it would be a great deal of help if someone helps me in proceeding further.

Regards,

    Hi N.S.

    It is not clear to me what you are trying to do and what symbols you are loading.

    If you only need to set breakpoints in the linux kernel only then you can simply load the vmlinux symbol file.

    The vmlinux must be the ELF symbol file generated from the same build of the kernel image running on the target.

    You can then set breakpoint in the kernel source code.

     

    If you want to see what processes are running on the Linux and what each process is executing. You need to enable the Linux Aware Debug feature.

    Please take a look at this http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php?title=Linux_Aware_Debug.
