VisualKernel will ask whether you want to index the kernel source code: Click on the call to get_seconds() and press F12 to go to the function definition. Now we will use the Clang-based IntelliSense engine provided by VisualKernel to quickly find function definitions and visualize relations between functions.The output from the last session will be shown in the VisualKernel Program Output section of the Output pane: Resume debugging to see the output in the SSH Console window and then press Shift-F5 to automatically unload your module and detach from the kernel.Step into the seq_printf() function by pressing F11:.Set a breakpoint on the call to seq_printf() and re-run the “cat” command: Now we will step through the code that prints this message.Open the Debug->Windows->SSH Console window, open a new SSH shell and run “cat /proc/” to see the output generated by the module:.The sample module will display a hint on trying it out in the kernel output window: When the build completes, you can start debugging by pressing F5.You can build it by pressing Ctrl-Shift-B: Press “Finish” to have your project created.Otherwise you can debug your machine via a COM port, VM debugger, or using JTAG with an external tool like OpenOCD: You can debug your kernel via network if your network card driver supports the netpoll interface. On the last page of the wizard select the debug method you want to use.The next page allows specifying the location of the source files for your module.VisualKernel will automatically download the necessary source and symbol packages and cache the relevant files on the Windows machine:.On the next page select the Linux machine you would like to target and press “Next”:.Select “Virtual /proc file” in the “Project Template” field:.Select File->New->Project and pick the VisualKernel kernel module wizard: VisualKernel provides the debugging support and includes the Clang-based IntelliSense engine that parses the kernel source code and delivers features like Code Map. If you don’t have Visual Studio installed, you can try out the free Visual Studio Community Edition.
