* http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/S5PC110Bootloader works as a serial cable.
When you connect the cable you get the FIQ debugger, but what if you want kgdb instead:
* apply that patch:

* remove the FIQ debugger in the kernel configuration.
* change the CMDLINE trough the kernel configuration:
Use:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyO2 androidboot.console=ttyO2 [...]"
Instead of:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyFIQ0 androidboot.console=ttyFIQ0 [...]"
* Verify that you get the kernel messages.
h2. KGDB
* Then change the cmdline for kgdb
CONFIG_CMDLINE="kgdboc=ttyO2,115200 console=ttyO2 androidboot.console=ttyO2 [...]"
Don't add kgdbwait tough because it result in that:

h2. Multiplexing the serial port
since we have only 1 serial port, you can also use agent proxy to get kgdb and the console at the same time....
