HI, do "make menuconfig" and search for KGDB over ethernet option , you vl find nothing. Do you have any other idea to make the latest kernel working over ethernet ? Thanks Vivek On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 4:48 PM, Rahul Bedarkar <rpal143@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I am making a set up for kernel debugging at remote location with the help of ethernet, but as i heard that we dont have ethernet support in kernel 3.x series , Is it true? I can not believe ethernet support is not in 3.x series!

Thanks, Rahul B.

...

If yes so do we have any other option to enable the ethernet functionality. I have downloaded the latest 3.6.7 kernel to my ubuntu 11.04 64 bit machine and booted my machine with this new kernel successfully but the problem is that i dont have ethernet support in this for debugging via KGDB. I am a beginner in this field, so can you please help me out in this if possible.

Thanks for your support

HI, Based on my research , no plans are in progress to merge kgdboe (KGDB over Ethernet) to the mainline kernel, we have kgdboe support till 2.6.13 kernel. Through serial null modem cable its fine for me but i need to make the setup via ethernet only, so for that if i add old supporting patches(KGDB over ethernet) to my latest 3.4.7 kernel would it work because there would be lots of arch dependency and code dependency . Please elaborate the procedure to me because i am very new to this. Thanks Vivek On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Sannu K <sannumail4foss@gmail.com> wrote:

kgdb over ethernet never made it to mainline. You have use only kgdb over serial. Out of tree patch for kgdb over ethernet should be available (just a guess as it was available for older versions of kernel) check that out. If available patch the kernel and use kgdb over ethernet else use kgdb over serial.
