Subject: Re: kgdb errors with serial console

Hi Jason,
                   Perhaps the debugger is timing out because it doesn't get a break point to debug a specific event? 

Could you tell me the order in which I should try it? 

I think earlier on, when I used the kgdbwait bootarg, it ran and initialized eclipse debugger. Then when I entered the 

echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger

it just activated the debugger correctly because the kgdb_breakpoint method was called in file kgdb.c

So, what should I do to test this? Do I write a small file, and add a call to kgdb_breakpoint in that example file, and then when I execute it, the debugger would get activated? 

Is there any other test that I can run, without writing my own example ?

Best regards,

Elvis
