Re: [Freemint-discuss] Debugging

[Miro K. <mir...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was wondering what your preferred way is to debug problems...

I rely mostly on Aranym's /dev/nfstderr device, so in a way, the serial
console, yes. Many parts of the kernel offer additional detailed debugging
via #if 0's if needed. So I just usually collect a few MBs of data, look
what's happening, add / remove some outputs and fix the issue if possible.
If you can get to the desktop, it's nicer for real hardware as you can use
TosWin2 for debugging (/dev/xconout2 device).

Oh and often I just let the kernel crash, some kind of really strong
assert. ;-)

This has been usually enough for debugging even such fine grained issues as
this one:
