I already have the 2ed system to build the image for the soekris anyway, and thus the directory with the sources and symbols. To debug when the target is a traditional PC, I've followed the developers handbook. In those cases, the system had its own keyboard and monitor. Does anything change when the targe is a Soekris box? Also, is using PXE an option? I'd prefer to not have to write a new image to flash each time changes are made to source code. Thanks, MikeC
