For 2.6.16 and .17, I adapted kgdb to work with ipipe [1]. That means
you were able to attach gdb to your system via a serial nullmodem link.

Unfortunately, the kgbd development itself became unsteady again (it
stalled for more than half a year), so we have no recent vanilla kgdb
patches ATM. May change again in the future, but doesn't help right now.


What you can try meanwhile is to direct your console output to a serial
console and use ipipe_set_printk_sync(&rthal_root) to force synchronous
printk even for the Xenomai domain. Moreover, switch on debug support in
Xenomai, specifically CONFIG_XENO_OPT_DEBUG_RTDM and
CONFIG_XENO_OPT_WATCHDOG.
