My setup
one beaglebone black
one usb to serial cable connected on proper uart header
properly compiled kernel , vmlinux, uImage, uboot.bin, MLO, device tree binary
booting through uSD card
beaglebone_defconfig added these lines
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y
I don’t know how this script works, but I used this
uenv.txt =
console=ttyS0,115200n8
netargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyO0,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 kdgb=ttyO0,115200N8 kgdboc=ttyO0,115200N8 kgdbwait
netboot=echo Booting from Network …; setenv autoload no ; load mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} uImage ; load mmc 0:1 ${fdtaddr} am335x-boneblack.dtb ; run netargs ; bootm ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}
uenvcmd=run netboot

and just nothing.
What I have to do to run control this usb to uart interface over kgdb?
