You can download the latest version of our ELDK (Embedded Linux Development Kit) from ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk/2.1.0/, please see ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk/2.1.0/eldk-ppc-linux-x86/README.html or http:www.denx.de/re/ELDK.html for detailed instructions. > Also, I have following questions I can't find the answer: > Is it enough just to include kgdb support when configuring kernel to build > linux kernel with kgdb support? > Has DENX's linux-2.4.4 kernel been patched with kgdb already or not? Actually, we don't use kgdb. We use the Abatron BDI2000 for all kernel and device driver debugging (on PPC, ARM, and MIPS). > Are the ? marks shown on serial console when kernel built with kgdb support > starts run supposed to see or some else? kgdb will stop at a built-in breakpoint pretty early in the initialization sequence to allow you to set more breakpoints for example to debug drivers etc. It expects that you connect with a debugger on the serial line.
