It is (I've done it), but it can be tricky. I did it a while back with a 2.4 kernel on a 8245-based board. If I remember correctly the trick was to set a breakpoint inside a kernel call (I used an ioctl) that came from your userspace app and then map the userspace executable to start at address 0x0. After that you are able to set breakpoints in the user-space app and do whatever you need. After doing it I remember seeing a description of basically the same steps online somewhere. > > > Is there any integration of the BDI2000 to eclipse running at a linux > > host? > > Ultimate solutions has a product that does this. > > g. > > -- > Grant Likely, B.Sc.
