[BitVisor-devel-en:23] Debugging methods for BitVisor

[平野 学]

Hello bitvisor developers,

I have installed bitvisor 1.3 on my laptop and it works fine, Thanks! However, I have the following problems with debugging methods. Could you tell me how to debug BitVisor?

1) dbgsh
I have installed bitvisor 1.3 with DBGSH option.  (Other options are all default) I think BitVisor is working fine. However, I cannot use dbgsh program from the guest OS (Ubuntu 12.04LTS and Fedora7). I have tried the dbgsh program both on GUI mode and on CUI mode. When I executed dbgsh program, the program outputs some kind of control characters. It does not show any prompt for BitVisor's debug interface. Is my method to use dbgsh wrong?

2) RS-232
I have also installed bitvisor 1.3 on VMware Workstation 9 with its virtualization supports. BitVisor is working fine on VMware Workstation 9. In the VMware’s settings, I added a "virtual serial port" as a "named pipe". I am using "Named Pipe TCP proxy" software for proxying the named pipe (serial) to TCP. I am also using TeraTerm (Terminal software) to connect the TCP port. As a result, I can see some start-up messages from BitVisor on my TeraTerm program. However, I cannot access BitVisor's de
bug interface.  How can I input debug commands from serial port?

I am sorry, I am not familiar with debugging methods for system programming.
Thank you for your time and help.
