Creating & Working On a CVS Branch Example Usage

Example usage OF Creating & Working On a CVS Branch
Tried working hard on CVs commands, here is simple example for working in branch using CVS, CVS is becoming nomore use with everyone opting for SVN, still CVS usages is wide as it is old,
Lets start with CVS commands to create a branch
This is done with two commands,
  • cvs tag -b release-1 //create branch
  • cvs update -j release-1 //merge the changes in main tot
Lets see with simple example
Creating and working on a branch for the existing kernel source.
#cvs co kernel/linux-2.6.26
#cd kernel/linux-2.6.26/
#cvs tag -b release-1

First we created a branch to the kernel source, as we are doing first release.
Continue your development work for second release.
After some time, reported a problem in the first release.
So you need to Get the kernel source code of first release.
#cvs co -r release-1 kernel/linux-2.6.24
and fix the problems
Now If you want to merge these changes in to main trunk.
#cvs update -j release-1
And you are done with usage OF Creating & Working On a CVS Branch

Remote debugging for ARM target board

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...
