My team is just begginning, this past 2 months, to explore the use of linux for an embedded os. We have made alot of progress but need to understand and experience debugging options for the kernel. Our motto has been to start simple and add complications as necessary. Our intention is to use xmon for low-level target debugging. Is this a good idea? Next, how do we configure the kernel. We have turned on the CONFIG_XMON option but are getting a vmlinux link failure. arch/ppc/xmon/x.o: In function `xmon': arch/ppc/xmon/x.o(.text+0x600): undefined reference to `xmon_enter' arch/ppc/xmon/x.o(.text+0x600): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 xmon_en ter arch/ppc/xmon/x.o(.text+0x664): undefined reference to `xmon_leave' In arch/ppc/xmon/Makefile, start.c is excluded in favor of start_8xx.c. Where should these references come from. We are using kernel 2.4.11 obtained from linuxppc_2_4 on 2001-10-10 with only configuration edits needed for our custom board. We are using MV JE2.0 tools and a modified SELF enviornment from Wolfgang Denx. Ricky W. West Ericsson Inc. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
