Re: can we debug ecos kernel related thing

Hai,
        can we debug the ecos kernel functions through GDB. if so please
tell me how we can do that.

Just like if you were debugging an application.


for this whether we need to enable any
options in the "Redboot" and "Ecos os" while building these
images.

Nope. The only restriction is that you can't debug any bits actually used by the debugger, i.e. the target's GDB stub. Since that normally resides in redboot and you debug an ecos application, this is rarely an issue (although the closest might be if debugging the ethernet driver in ecos while using ethernet debugging, as in that case it is shared).
