Hi,

The simple" config is deprecated , when the MMIO support was added
to the KGDB 8250 driver. I have to use the syntax:

kgdb8250=<io or mmio>,<address>,<baud rate>,<irq>

Thanks
Srikanth

Hi all,

I am using KGDB on powerpc-440. This is tested on Linux-2.6.27, the following arguments to KGDB showing init_delay of 8250 as shown below:

Target Side :

-----------------------------

Linux/PowerPC load: console=ttyS0 ip=bootp root=/dev/nfs rw kgdb8250=ttyS0,9600 kgdbwait
Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x5ad300                      
                  
kgdb8250: ttyS0 init delayed, use io/mmio/mbase syntax for early init.    
.....
.....
.......
......
......
.......
......
console [ttyS0] enabled
kgdb: Registered I/O driver kgdb8250.

Stops here ->

Can anybody correct me, where I am going wrong. I am not able to hit KGDB breakpoint. ?
