debug with KITL
Hi at all, i have a question: is possible to make a KITL connection via USB or RS232 using platform Builder on NETX??
Our hardware provide only ethernet port 0 at the moment and my application use socket to communicate with other devices.
In this situation i'm unable to debug my application with the step-by-step debugger of platform builder. Could you suggest me some workaround?? (if exist....)
Thanks in advance

Why do you want to debug an application using Platform Builder?
It would be easier to use Embedded Visual C++ and connect via USB/Serial (Activesync) or by a manual Session via telnet.
Platform Builder is only neccessary when debugging Kernel mode drivers.

The problem is that i have to debug a kernel mode driver, sorry probably my previous post wasn't enought clear in this aspect.

Sorry, but a KITL connection via serial line is not available.
The only thing you could do is, implement it yourself by modifying kitl_cfg.h (see OAL_KITL_SERIAL_DRIVER in documentation) and implementing send/recv functions based on the OEMWriteDebugByte/OEMReadDebugByte.
Another possibility is to add support for the VMINI Bridge (which means modifications in the KITL Ethernet Part and Runtime-Image) and use the Ethernet Interface and KITL together on the same physical interface.
Both methods are currently not officially supported, and there is no current plan to support them.

Hi matias,
I am sorry, but the answer is no. There is no workarround to use USB or UART instead of the Ethernet connection.
