Hi,
       I'm trying to setup a kernel debugging environment for the Gumstix Overo 
Earth (TI OMAP 3503) + Palo43 using Eclipse. 

I have enabled kgdb in the kernel (linux-omap-2.6.32 based android kernel).

My bootargs were

# setenv console ttyS2,115200n8
# setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console} vram=12M omapfb.vram=0:4M 
omapfb.mode=dvi:${dvimode} omapdss.def_disp=${defaultdisplay} 
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait init=/init kgdboc=${console} 
kgdbwait'

The kernel boots and waits correctly for input as follows:

console [ttyS2] enabled
kgdb: Registered I/O driver kgdboc.
kgdb: Waiting for connection from remote gdb...

I have also configure Eclipse IDE, and built the kernel, and when I run it in 
debug mode, it launches the kernel and the whole android OS boots correctly, 
and Eclipse IDE shows a number of threads running, but I can seem to see any 
source code highlighted, even through I set a breakpoint in board-overo.c (my 
board file) for the init board routine. It should have stopped and paused 
execution at the breakpoint. 

Question 01: When building from Eclipse IDE, it builds uImage, but for the 
debug settings, I selected vmlinux that was generated in the root folder. I ran 
uImage on the target board, but for the executable for the debug session I used 
vmimage. Is that correct?

When I launch Eclipse debugger, I can see a number of threads running, it 
doesn't display any source code, I can't pause any threads, and the breakpoints 
don't appear to be working. 

What should I do ?

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
