====== Stefan Hajnoczi: GDB Remote Debugging ====== ===== Week 4 ===== **Milestones:** * Get latest GDB stub work into mainline. * Modern bzImage prefix for gPXE. ==== Mon Jun 16 ==== **The ''gdbstub2'' branch is now ready for mainline review**. Diffs against gPXE ''master'' are [[http://etherboot.org/share/stefanha/gdbstub2.diff|here]]. Once it is merged I will update the documentation and encourage others to use GDB. **gPXE needs modern bzImage support so that GRUB, lilo, and SYSLINUX can load it**. This is my next piece of work after the GDB stub. There is already code in etherboot to make a bzImage. The old code doesn't work by default on today's popular bootloaders since the Linux bzImage header it supplies is outdated. I am investigating what needs to be done for GRUB, lilo, SYSLINUX, etherboot, and gPXE to load a gPXE bzImage. Next steps: * Update [[:dev:gdbstub|GDB stub page]] and screencast when UDP code is merged into mainline. See [[http://grub.enbug.org/DebuggingWithGDB|GRUB GDB wiki page]] for inspiration. * gPXE bzImage support. * Real-mode GDB stub.
