KGDB is a debugger for the Linux kernel . He needs two Linux computers connected to one another. The connection can be made via RS-232 via null modem cable or via UDP / IP (KGDB over Ethernet, KGDBoE).
KGDB has been part of Linux since kernel version 2.6.26-rc1.
FreeBSD uses the name kgdb for a modified GDB that also serves as a debugger for the kernel. It can be used to analyze memory dumps after a system crash as well as debug an active kernel via connected computers ( RS-232 or FireWire ).
