Project Ideas for the Yocto Project Google Summer of Code

remote debugging with devtool

  • Difficulty
    medium
  • Skills Required
    python 3
  • Hardware Required
    no hardware is required, this can all be done with qemu
  • 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
