How to participate in the Linux kernel community

By
How to participate in the Linux kernel community? check out A GUIDE TO THE KERNEL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Jonathan Corbet has written a very interesting article on "how
to participate in the Linux kernel community"

Section 1 is the executive summary.

Section 2 introduces the development process, the kernel release
cycle, and the mechanics of the merge window.

Section 3 covers early-stage project planning, with an emphasis
on involving the development community as soon as possible.

Section 4 is about the coding process; several pitfalls which
have been encountered by other developers are discussed.

Section 5 talks about the process of posting patches for review.

Section 6 covers what happens after posting patches; the job is
far from done at that point.

Section 7 introduces managing patches with git and reviewing
patches posted by others.

Section 8 concludes the document with pointers to sources for
more information on kernel development.

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
