GalaxyNexusSerialConsole¶

• http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/S5PC110Bootloader works as a serial cable.

• apply that patch:
  

  diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-tuna.c b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-tuna.c

   }
  

• 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
  

  CONFIG_CMDLINE="kgdboc=ttyO2,115200 console=ttyO2 androidboot.console=ttyO2 [...]" 
  

Don't add kgdbwait tough because it result in that:

(gdb) set remotebaud 115200
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy.
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyUSB0
Remote debugging using /dev/ttyUSB0

• disable the watchdot timer.

At the end the cmdline should look like that:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="kgdboc=ttyO2,115200 console=ttyO2 androidboot.console=ttyO2 mem=1G vmalloc=768M omap_wdt.timer_margin=0 no_console_suspend"
