From memory, adding the GDB stub to the Linux kernel was only a recent
inovation.  I guess, the kernel stub code is enabled and is known to
work.  Does that stub code come with a Linux HOWTO tht is specific to
the arm?

Ok so far. (should I also mention set debug remote ...? :-)

> (gdb) run

this looks wrong. If I assume that you've set up:

  <gdb vmlinux> - /dev/ttyS0 ------ arm board with kernel

then I don't know that ``run'' is applicable.

One guess of what should happen is:

	o	the arm board boots the kernel

	o	the arm board traps to the
		sub

	o	you connect gdb to the serial
		line connected to the arm board

	o	after entering ``target remote...''
		you can examine the kernel state

	o	use continue (not run) to resume
		execution

Hi,
 
Anyone know of the RS232 pinout require to 
connect Insight ( hosted on a PC, is it available for any other hosts?) to a 
remote target?
 
Thanks.
