Miscellaneous Ideas

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
