Hello Piyush,

I'm not really an expert, so I'll help only with what I know. Read
below.

I'm also relaying this message to the public list, so they can help
you further, possibly correcting me if I'm wrong :o)

[]'s, Scop                            mailto:scop@digitel.com.br

------------------------------------------------------------------
It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm
really quite busy.

Sorry, I never used kgdb on my custom board (we have a BDI2000!).

AFAIK, you can always get printk messages through /proc/kmsg. I don't
know if there's an already implemented way of inhibiting them from
going to the debug console.

No, AFAIK.

No, neither that. The uart port is used for both purposes
concurrently.
