Re: [Ltib] turning off -O2

[Matt Wilbur]

Can you give an example?

I use vmlinux with powerpc-gnu-gdb.

However can not single step linux kernel code from gdb prompt properly or set breakpoint. Breakpoint works from bdi prompt.

Looks like optimization issue.

Hi Kallol,

If you have the kernel building (by enabling debug in the kernel config)
then for use with BDI2000 you need vmlinux (the elf image) not the
normal image IIRC.

Failing this, you probably need some help from the kernel experts at
Freescale.
