+config DEBUG_MMRS
+   bool "Generate Blackfin MMR tree"
+   select DEBUG_FS
+   help
+     Create a tree of Blackfin MMRs via the debugfs tree.  If
+     you enable this, you will find all MMRs laid out in the
+     /sys/kernel/debug/blackfin/ directory where you can read/write
+     MMRs directly from userspace.  This is obviously just a debug
+     feature.
+
+config DEBUG_HWERR
+   bool "Hardware error interrupt debugging"
+   depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+   help
+     When enabled, the hardware error interrupt is never disabled, and
+     will happen immediately when an error condition occurs.  This comes
+     at a slight cost in code size, but is necessary if you are getting
+     hardware error interrupts and need to know where they are coming
+     from.
+
+config DEBUG_ICACHE_CHECK
+   bool "Check Instruction cache coherency"
+   depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+   depends on DEBUG_HWERR
+   help
+     Say Y here if you are getting weird unexplained errors. This will
+     ensure that icache is what SDRAM says it should be by doing a
+     byte wise comparison between SDRAM and instruction cache. This
+     also relocates the irq_panic() function to L1 memory, (which is
+     un-cached).
+
+config DEBUG_HUNT_FOR_ZERO
+   bool "Catch NULL pointer reads/writes"
+   default y
+   help
+     Say Y here to catch reads/writes to anywhere in the memory range
+     from 0x0000 - 0x0FFF (the first 4k) of memory.  This is useful in
+     catching common programming errors such as NULL pointer dereferences.
+
+     Misbehaving applications will be killed (generate a SEGV) while the
+     kernel will trigger a panic.
+
+     Enabling this option will take up an extra entry in CPLB table.
+     Otherwise, there is no extra overhead.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+   bool "Turn on Blackfin's Hardware Trace"
+   default y
+   help
+     All Blackfins include a Trace Unit which stores a history of the last
+     16 changes in program flow taken by the program sequencer. The history
+     allows the user to recreate the program sequencer’s recent path. This
+     can be handy when an application dies - we print out the execution
+     path of how it got to the offending instruction.
+
+     By turning this off, you may save a tiny amount of power.
+

+   prompt "Omit loop Tracing"
+   default DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_OFF
+   depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+   help
+     The trace buffer can be configured to omit recording of changes in
+     program flow that match either the last entry or one of the last
+     two entries. Omitting one of these entries from the record prevents
+     the trace buffer from overflowing because of any sort of loop (for, do
+     while, etc) in the program.
+
+     Because zero-overhead Hardware loops are not recorded in the trace buffer,
+     this feature can be used to prevent trace overflow from loops that
+     are nested four deep.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_OFF
+   bool "Trace all Loops"
+   help
+     The trace buffer records all changes of flow 
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_ONE
+   bool "Compress single-level loops"
+   help
+     The trace buffer does not record single loops - helpful if trace 
+     is spinning on a while or do loop.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_TWO
+   bool "Compress two-level loops"
+   help
+     The trace buffer does not record loops two levels deep. Helpful if
+     the trace is spinning in a nested loop

+
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND
+   bool "Expand Trace Buffer greater than 16 entries"
+   depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+   default n
+   help
+     By selecting this option, every time the 16 hardware entries in
+     the Blackfin's HW Trace buffer are full, the kernel will move them
+     into a software buffer, for dumping when there is an issue. This 
+     has a great impact on performance, (an interrupt every 16 change of 
+     flows) and should normally be turned off, except in those nasty
+     debugging sessions
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND_LEN
+   int "Size of Trace buffer (in power of 2k)"
+   range 0 4
+   depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND
+   default 1
+   help
+     This sets the size of the software buffer that the trace information
+     is kept in.
+     0 for (2^0)  1k, or 256 entries,
+     1 for (2^1)  2k, or 512 entries,
+     2 for (2^2)  4k, or 1024 entries,
+     3 for (2^3)  8k, or 2048 entries,
+     4 for (2^4) 16k, or 4096 entries
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_NO_KERN_HWTRACE
+   bool "Trace user apps (turn off hwtrace in kernel)"
+   depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+   default n
+   help
+     Some pieces of the kernel contain a lot of flow changes which can
+     quickly fill up the hardware trace buffer.  When debugging crashes,
+     the hardware trace may indicate that the problem lies in kernel
+     space when in reality an application is buggy.
+
+     Say Y here to disable hardware tracing in some known "jumpy" pieces
+     of code so that the trace buffer will extend further back.
+
+config EARLY_PRINTK
+   bool "Early printk" 
+   default n
+   help
+     This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+     to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+     This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+     early before the console code is initialized. After enabling this
+     feature, you must add "earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600" to the
+     command line (bootargs). It is safe to say Y here in all cases, as
+     all of this lives in the init section and is thrown away after the
+     kernel boots completely.
+
+config DUAL_CORE_TEST_MODULE
+   tristate "Dual Core Test Module"
+   depends on (BF561)
+   default n
+   help
+     Say Y here to build-in dual core test module for dual core test.
+
+config CPLB_INFO
+   bool "Display the CPLB information"
+   help
+     Display the CPLB information.
+
+config ACCESS_CHECK
+   bool "Check the user pointer address"
+   default y
+   help
+     Usually the pointer transfer from user space is checked to see if its
+     address is in the kernel space.
+
+     Say N here to disable that check to improve the performance.
