OMAP4 and Debugging Symbols questions

[Mohammed Farrag]

Hi Damjan,

   I will emulate OMAP4 kernel on another platform by building the image and
emulating it on another platform as I did with OMAP3 on linux host. I need
to know the debugging symbols file I should load. I have previous knowledge
about the omap branch but still preparing my emulation process to test the
code.

Regards,

Mohammed
