Technical Note TN260: Debugging the Linux Kernel using CodeWarrior IDE for ColdFire Architectures
Technical guide for debugging Linux kernels on ColdFire architectures using NXP CodeWarrior IDE and the Abatron BDI2000 probe.
Overview
This technical note (TN260) provides comprehensive instructions for configuring the CodeWarrior IDE to debug Linux applications, the Linux kernel, and kernel modules on ColdFire architectures. Specifically featuring the MCF5329EVB, the document details the setup of Board Support Packages (BSP) using the Linux Target Image Builder (LTIB), configuration of the Abatron BDI2000 hardware debugger in stop mode, and the creation of CodeWarrior projects from vmlinux images. It covers essential settings for the dBUG boot loader, kernel hacking configurations for debug info, and the installation of drivers for the P&E Micro USB Multilink.
Use Cases
- Embedded Linux kernel and module development
- Debugging boot loaders on ColdFire evaluation boards
- Configuring Abatron BDI2000 hardware probes for Linux environments
- Setting up CodeWarrior projects for Linux application debugging
