I recommend you try upstream to take a further look at this, instead of<br>
that Freescale distribution. As I recall currently KGDB works well in 85xx<br>
case in ML.<br>

The breakpoint I placed at "sys_sync" is hit only once. After that my gdb<br>
command "continue" does not make further<br>
hits. And the target is hung. It is not even responding to my further<br>
sending of "SysRq : DEBUG"<br>
<br>
I have attached my .config<br>

Then i tried to send "SysRq : DEBUG" in target kernel panics.<br>
<br>
I have pasted the panic below.<br>

SysRq : DEBUG<br>
Kernel panic - not syncing: Recursive entry to debugger<br>

<br>
The kernel already trap into kgdb_handle_exception() with the debug<br>
exception while triggering that break point, but again you trigger another<br>
debug exception by SysRq. Actually KGDB can't handle such this recursive<br>
behavior, so KGDB always call kgdb_reenter_check() to prevent this scenario<br>
with this call trace.<br>
<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
I am doing it because the target is hung after the initial breakpoint is<br>
hit.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
This is just what I mean. Although looks your kernel is hung, actually your kernel is already in kgdb exception handler previously. So after you send break by SysRq to debug, its not allowed by current kgdb scheme as I said. The following call trace also show this path explicitly.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
