Problem with network debugging when building kgdboe module – Target is BBB

[fstuetz]

I am testing VisualKernel trial version.

My Project:
Target is a BeagleBone Black board running debian linux release 3.8.13-bone70.5.
It was built following these instructions by Robert Nelson:

https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

For building I use ubuntu 14.04 running in a VM VirtualBox under Win 8.1
The ARM Cross Compiler version is: gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09

I tried the default hello project with network debugging.
When building I get the following error (during ‘Building kgdboe module’):

<table style=”height: 256px;” width=”1168″>

I hope you can help me solving this problem.

Looks like your kernel is configured without kgdb support. Please enable it via kernel configuration interface and then build kgdboe again with the new headers.
