“These tools provide a much needed debug capability for
developers working within the kernel and its modules; such as
real-time Linux tasks.“
“Zentropic Computing, LLC (Zentropix) today announced the
availability of their Remote Kernel Module Step and Trace stub for
GDB and the Remote Run-time Data Debugger (R2D2), as open source
developments under the Gnu Public License. These tools for
real-time Linux development have, until now, been missing from the
Linux developer’s arsenal.”
“The Zentropix Remote Kernel Module debugger is based on the
capable gdbstubs package, but also provides the host machine with
the capability to step-and-trace the target’s kernel modules by
using the standard GDB debugger and a graphical interface such as
DDD.”
