fail debugging visual kernel

[Anonymous]

hi, i’m running trial version of visual kernel, and while trying to debug my code i get the following error:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/imp2.numa/src/linux-2.6.32-279.el6'

could you please help with solving the issue?

Hi,

The kgdboe module that is used for network debugging only supports kernels starting from 3.8.0. Please update your kernel or use a different connection method.

Seems like this little known fact should be in the instructions in large friendly letters. Is there any chance that kernel 2.6.xxx support is coming in the near future?

In fact, I’ve also had trouble using VisualKernel 2.0 with COM port debugging on CentOS 6 (2.6.32 kernel) – should that work?

Hi,

We do mention supported kernel versions on the kgdboe page.

We are not planning to support older kernels as their popularity is declining over time as people are switching to newer ones.

COM port-based debugging should work. Let us know if you encounter any problems with it.
