Debugging Linux kernel on PowerPC

Greetings All,

 

I have general question regarding kernel debugging on PowerPC platform. Except printk what are other ways for kernel / kernel modules debugging on PowerPC architecture (i.e P1022DS/RDK boards). I am specifically referring to the option of connecting hardware probe and debug the kernel / kernel module via gdb/kgdb or some IDE. Please suggest any probe & IDE which provide this facility.

 

Best Regards

I'm using BDI2000 and GDB (custom P2010 board loosely based on P2020DK/RDB).

Not exactly cheap, but it's a good debugger.

Mostly done uboot debugging though, I haven't needed to debug linux yet.
