Introduction

For now I'm just going to dump my configuration files here that I use to debug the kernel. To speed up the debug process, I use Micromon to load the kernel to memory, rather than waiting on the slow Wiggler.

Please see Pollux JTAG with FTDI or the Didj JTAG How To for more info on OpenOCD or GDB.
