* 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:

<pre>

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

 }

</pre>

* remove the FIQ debugger in the kernel configuration.

* change the CMDLINE trough the kernel configuration:

Use:

<pre>CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyO2 androidboot.console=ttyO2 [...]"</pre>

Instead of:

<pre>CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyFIQ0 androidboot.console=ttyFIQ0 [...]"</pre>

* Verify that you get the kernel messages.

* Then change the cmdline for kgdb

<pre>

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

</pre>

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

<pre>

(gdb) set remotebaud 115200

(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyUSB0

/dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy.

(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyUSB0

</pre>

* disable the watchdot timer.

At the end the cmdline should look like that:

<pre>

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

</pre>

then open a root console and do:

<pre>

echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger

</pre>
