How to Debug Linux Kernel & U-boot Using Segger J-Link Ultra +

Dear All,

I'm having kernel panics while loading Linux kernel and running some applications on Linux OS on my custom hardware design. This hardware is based on IMAX6Q processor and I need to encounter the problem which was generated using J-Tag debug port of my hardware.

I could configure my hardware as target device and J-Link commander was detected my hardware as well.

Could you please guide me how to debug kernel and encounter the problem for this kernel panics using Jtag ? Any well documented steps for kernel debugging for custom hardware ?

Need information for Graphical IDE setup, using EClipse.

Regards,

Peter.
