You don't need KDB to use the BDI2000 to debug a linux kernel, in fact
you need nothing on the target side.  Simply attach the BDI to your
hardware, and use a (cross-)gdb with the "target remote
<ipaddr>:<port>" command.  Our DULG shows how to do that with
U-Boot[1].  Debugging (static) Linux is exactly the same...

Cheers
