I got one link for debug in ZED board using XMD.
http://www.manolisragkousis.com/blog/2015/02/05/gdb-linux-kernel-zedboard/

At end of page, mentioned that, continue will work , but I want to debug spefic driver drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c, where should I put my break point , how I go further.
Is there any proper doc. for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I am wondering , why I am not getting response for my post, because I believe ZED board really supports linux kernel debugging through internal JTAG debugger through XMD.
Please provide me debug process for the same

Hello Satish,

Your question is really beyond the scope of this forum. It is not directly related to ZedBoard, but is really specific to using the Xilinx tools to debug the Linux kernel. We are really focused on supporting the 'zed boards and SOMs and will help when we can but don't have the expertise in the area you are asking about.

You will probably reach a broader and more knowledgeable audience on the Xilinx Community forum for Embedded Linux and, in fact, it looks like you have asked the question and received an answer there:
