这几天一直在调试atmel at91sam9x25的串口，用着用着总会导致Oops，Oops内容如下：

注意上述红色的地方。
下面就来显示如何定位出出错代码行:
1.首先，编译时打开complie with debug info选项，步则如下
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig
进入 Kernel hacking
选择 Compile the kernel with debug info
然后，保存，退出。
接着 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
编译， 等编译完成。
2.利用arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb 调试，如下：
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb vmlinux
对应着Oops 消息里面的这一行
[ 1023.520000] LR is at atmel_tasklet_func+0x10/0x690
在gdb下键入命令 ： l *at atmel_tasklet_func+0x10
这样就找到了出错的代码行。在这里鄙视一下atmel提供的内核，竟然还有bug，fuck it！
从这里可以看出是由于串口的dma导致Oops的，于是我去掉了串口的dma传输。方法如下：
去掉之后还没有发现上述的Oops出现。

发现做达芬奇平台有很多qq交流群，但是海思平台的QQ交流群却很少，至少我在网上没有找到，于是我打算创建一个。
小弟自从毕业已经搞海思的平台有2年半了，刚开始主要做上层，做过一个流媒体播放器，可以在手机上观看实时视频。转向做驱动也有接近2年的时间了，想创建一个群用于交流，没有其他什么意思，希望志同道合的朋友们用于加入，踊跃发言！谢谢！最后注明QQ群号码：
