IOLog on serial port? Or to use kprintf?
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Hi, Currently I see my IOLog() messages in to the /var/log/system.log file. Can I redirect it to my serial port? My Sytem is MAC OS X 10.3.7 on Power MAC G5. If yes, Do I have to set do nvram boot-args="debug=0x08" ? (DB_KPRT) I learned from Kernel Programming.pdf . I tried it, but I still get IOLog() messages in the same file. I hope I don't have to recompile the kernel for this. Or U can direct only kprintf() to serial port??? what should be serial port setting for MAC OS X G5? is it 57600 8N1 or 38400 8N1 ? G5 has that modem kind of RJ11 conector, not the serial port that we see on PC, so do I need to connect it via RJ11 connector to other host ? If I have to use kprintf() in my driver code, do I need to recompile the kernel, to see the messages on the console / serial port? I think need to recompile in DEBUG mode, right? I searched the xnu code, but I don't find any code of the kprintf in any of the c files. Where is the kprintf() definition???
