remote debugging with devtool
- Difficulty
- medium
- Skills Required
- python 3
- Hardware Required
- no hardware is required, this can all be done with qemu
- Where to Ask Questions
- #yocto on irc.freenode.net or the yocto mailing list
- Potential Mentor
- Trevor Woerner (tlwoerner on irc (freenode and OFTC))
- Description
- a build generates all the pieces required to perform remote debugging (via cross-gdb) but getting everything to work requires a lot of manual fiddling involving an SDK, devtool should be able to make this easier, and would also include the coding (devtool modify), cross-building (devtool build), and upload (devtool deploy-target) pieces to complete the remote debugging loop
