ok ... which source trees are the "right" choices?

ok ... which source trees are the "right" choices?

[Robert P. J. Day]

   based on wolfgang's recent reference to the linuxppc_2_4_devel
source tree at DENX, one has to ask -- how does one choose between the
various source trees to stay on top of things?

   so far, i've established that, for the 2.6 kernel, i just keep
pulling the latest stuff from ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5.

   but what about the 2.4 kernel?  besides the denx source (which,
based on experience, would be at the top of my list in terms of
choice), there's a whack of 2.4-based trees at ppc.bkbits.net.

   and i've already confused myself this morning by looking at one
source tree while the discussion was referring to a different one.
dang.

   so ... what's the recommendation?  at the moment, it seems that i'd
want the denx 2.4 devel tree, and the bkbits 2.5 tree.  thoughts?

Kgdb on Motorola 8451 ppc board

[Tameen Khan]

I'm trying to run kgdb on  Motorola 8451 ppc board.
I've compiled the kernel with the CONFIG_KGDB option.
The test machine is a linux host. I'm using gdb compiled for target ppc
architecture. When I try to connect to the dev machine from the test
machine, I get the following error.

(gdb) set remotebaud 9600
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS1
Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS1
^^
^^^^Ignoring packet error, continuing...
^^^Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Couldn't establish connection to remote target
Malformed response to offset query, timeout
(gdb)

I've tried other baudrates, but get the same error with them. Any pointers
to where I can get info to get kgdb working for this cross arch debugging
will be helpful.. So far I've searched the web without much luck on this
topic.

Thanks

First, as far as I'm concerned, 2.4 is a low priority.  I'll forward
patches on to Marcelo, but quite frankly, I don't see the point of
trying to maintain additional trees (esp. given that most people looking
for a public tree want DENX's tree).  There _shouldn't_ be anything
in the ppc.bkbits.net 2.4 trees that's not in stock kernel.org (if it
is, it's almsot certainly in the DENX tree), but if there is, as I said,
I'll pass things along.
