This will start a VM with and listen on port 1234 for a [gdb] or [lldb] client.

## [gdb]
|
||||
|
||||
This is great, but without debug info debugging can be quite difficult. The
|
||||
redox build process strips the kernel of debug info and copies the debug info
|
||||
to a separate file `kernel.sym`. You can import these symbols in [gdb] with
|
||||
the following
|
||||
If you are going to use [gdb], run the following to load debug symbols and connect
|
||||
to your running kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
(gdb) symbol-file build/kernel.sym
|
||||
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can set some interesting breakpoints and `continue` the process.

## [lldb]
|
||||
|
||||
If you are going to use [lldb], run the following to start debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
(lldb) target create -s build/kernel.sym build/kernel
|
||||
(lldb) gdb-remote localhost:1234

## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
After connecting to your kernel you can set some interesting breakpoints and `continue`
|
||||
the process. See your debuggers man page for more information on useful commands to run.
