Ron,
Is LinuxBIOS development done with only serial port debug messages? You guys are good.

Someone must have some experience with source code level debugging of LinuxBIOS with an American Arium ECM-50. Thanks.
wow! I want to hear about that when you get it going. Another FAQ entry.

in the early days, we had an ICE. But for the last 4 years, it's all serial debug.

You've very kind. We've got a lot of very smart people all over the world on this project, and they're all pretty amazing.

The code is single threaded, and most of the issues are with respect to poorly setup registers. Which requires thinking and reading about. Since the debuggers give no insight into how the rest of the hardware works I don't see them being a big help there.

one case I saw that helped was with buggy northbridges (old via vt8601 comes to mind) which would lock up in certain situations. In that case, I really liked the Arium.
