Can not find vmlinux

[cengizhanyapici]

In my project I want to debug Linux kernel and it's modules by using CodeWarrior 10.5.1 tool with Code Warrior Tap.For this purpose, T1024rdb board is used. Although it has PowerPC architecture,it's stated in the forum that it has the same procedure like ARM arcitecture.So "AN4980.pdf" procedure was taken as a reference.However,when I worked on the document at the part of the "Create ARMV7 project's" fifth step which is"Browse to the vmlinux executable file and Select open." I could not find any executable named as vmlinux. Thank you for your help.

Aftre building the kernel, vmlinux will be placed in a path similar with this one: \build_p4080ds_release\tmp\work\p4080ds-fsl-linux\linux-qoriq\3.12-r0\git\

In CW make sure you change the file type in the lower right corner of the Select file dialog, to all file, because by default is set .elf file.

When I looked into my directory  \poky\build_t1024rdb-64b_release\tmp\work\t1024rdb_64b-fsl-linux\linux-qoriq\3.12-r0\git I still could not vmlinux.You can see the steps below:

[user@localhost poky]$ source ./fsl-setup-poky -m t1024rdb-64b -j 2 -t 2 -l

t1024rdb-64b

Run the following commands to start a build:

bitbake fsl-image-x11

bitbake fsl-image-full

bitbake fsl-image-flash

bitbake fsl-image-virt

bitbake fsl-image-core

bitbake fsl-image-minimal

To return to this build environment later please run:

. /yocto/QorIQ-SDK-V1.8-20150619-yocto/poky/build_t1024rdb-64b_release/SOURCE_THIS

[user@localhost build_t1024rdb-64b_release]$ pwd
