• 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:
  

  diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-tuna.c b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-tuna.c
  index a022a43..7098227 100644

                                     ARRAY_SIZE(tuna_uart4_pads), NULL);
   }
  

• 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.

Then change the cmdline for kgdb
