And you met my question. Because I recompile the AP source, and then run this AP. But the AP hangs in somewhere. So I think the remote debugging may help me. So, you know.. Thanks! I will go to GDB mailing list to find more about this!

Hi Joseph, I think what you mean is the possibility, to debug an OS ( kernel ) on a remote machine. The method is like this: One patch a kernel she is developing with the kgdb patch and use another machine with gdb to debug this OS remote via serial line and/or network cable. Kernel developers and driver writers make heavy use of this debugging method. I don't have any idea why one should need to debug an AP ( assuming this stands for application ) remotely. Hope I met your question. > Do You Yahoo!? nope Regards Frank PS: Maybe your better on the GDB mailing list with this question.
