I am just a new man in kernel development, there is a question bother me for a time. Is it neccessary to have a virtual machine when developing or debugging kernel?
If you are working on something unrelated to real-hardware then using a virtual machine can help you, like not having frequent reboots of your physical machine maybe you've only one development machine then you can try and attach gdb to the virtual machine from your host machine. If however you've a real hardware then using a real machine would be better.
Thanks.
