Accidental 11 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can 12 be used by people debugging the kernel. 13 14 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows 15 userspace access to memory mapped peripherals. 16 17 If in doubt, say Y. 18 19config EARLY_PRINTK 20 def_bool DEBUG_OCD 21 help 22 Write kernel log output directly into the ocd or to a serial port. 23 24 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very 25 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation 26 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate 27 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, 28 unless you want to debug such a crash. 29 30# These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty. 31config DEBUG_LL 32 bool "Kernel low-level debugging functions" 33 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 34 help 35 Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex 36 in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that 37 executes before the console is initialized. 38 39config DEBUG_OCD 40 bool "Kernel low-level debugging via On-Chip-Debugger" 41 depends on DEBUG_LL 42 default y 43 help 44 Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their 45 output to the UniCore On-Chip-Debugger channel using CP #1. 46 47endmenu 48
