Hi Nikolay and all,

Glad to see your interest ...!

Me and my friend Ragunath worked on GPIO and Networking ( Ethernet driver)
in GSoC'15.

I also cc'ed Ragu. He would be the right person to guide you out for
Ethernet driver.
Also last year Punit worked on PWM driver...

You can refer to following links :-

1. http://ragustechblog.blogspot.in/2015/06/gsoc-2015.html
2. https://github.com/ketul93/RTEMS-on-BBB

Also for debug method we generally use printf statements in code and debug
using serial utilities (ex. picocom) using UART communication.
For better debugging yes you would need JTAG ...

Hope to see you working on BB..

Cheers,
Ketul
