Okay, so I'm daft. But.. *what* is "it" ??
We have two machines: target (being debugged), and host (anything).
Sure, the target has to have ohci1394 loaded, and firescope running.
But what about the *other* end of the connection? What commands?
From the same manpage:
"The raw1394 module must be loaded and its device node
be writable (this normally requires root)"
Ok it doesn't say you need ohci1394 too and doesn't say that's the target.
If I do a new revision I'll perhaps expand the docs a bit.
So load ohci1394/raw1394 and run firescope as root. Your distribution
will hopefully take care of the device nodes. Usually you want
something like firescope -Au System.map
I think the confusion here is that the target doesn't need to be running
anything; you can DMA chunks of memory with the OHCI controller with no
need for any software support. The debugger host is what's running
firescope.
Unless I'm confused too, which is likely. Andi, I think your docs
should be more explicit about what runs where.
Also, the tricky bit for me is debugging resume; firescope still
requires the OHCI device to come up to be useful, but I that's no
different from using netconsole.
Neat stuff; I need to get my two firewire-enabled machines close enough
to each other to try it out.
