This software provides kernel debug versions and I/O Kit families. It helps diagnose issues related to kernel operations and input/output operations for devices.
If you're looking for a solution to simplify your kernel debugging, consider the Kernel Debug Kit. This package includes debug versions of the Mac OS X kernel and many I/O Kit families for use with GDB remote (two-machine) debugging. These files have full symbolic information, something that's not available in a normal Mac OS X installation.
In addition to the kernel and I/O files, this package also includes a file called kgmacros. It has GDB macros that are designed to assist you with kernel debugging, and you can load them using GDB's source command. For example, you can run the following command:
(gdb) source /Volumes/KernelDebugKit/kgmacros
But that's not all. The Kernel Debug Kit also includes the createsymbolfiles script. This script simplifies creating symbol files for kernel debugging. To use it, run the script as follows:
$ /Volumes/KernelDebugKit/createsymbolfiles -s
In short, if you're serious about kernel debugging, the Kernel Debug Kit is a must-have tool that can make your job easier and more effective.
