Hi,
I want to debug a AP via serial cable(port).
And I read the GDB HOWTO that describes a remote debugging method.
But I don't understand that very well.
Does anyone ever use this method to debug?
Could anyone kindly guide me in a simple way to do this?
Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joseph

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.

nope

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your advice. 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!
