CVSrepo deletion of the previous attempt will be requested: --original message-- Add the 'virtual nulmodem driver' Particularly useful for debuging kernels using vmware. If your name is Bruce evans and you are a WIZ at tty interfaces, then you should probably rip this to shreds and offer lots of suggestions and patches. I've been using this since 4.0-CURRENT and it's never caused problems but I'm sure I got something wrong. This is similar to the pty/cty device driver except that both sides are ttys. Even minor numbers are side A and odd minor numbers are side B. Work needs to be done regarding what happens to the other side when you close a node. to use with vmware, configure vmware to redirect COM2 out to side A of one of these and boot a kernel with teh gdb remote port set to sio1. AFTER dropping into the gdb kernel debugger in your test kernel, fire up gdb with it's remote port pointing at the appropriate side B. To catch all console output, you can boot the vmware kernel with a serial console, (COM1) similarly redirected to a nulmodem, and use 'tip' to observe it. This is practically unaltered since pre 4.0 days except for changes made along the way needed to make it compile, so any suggestions or offers of total rewrites will be listenned to :-) |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
