On devices as powerful as the Wandboard, native debugging is also an option for debugging sporadic failures. This recipe will explore the native debugging method.
For native development, Yocto offers the -dev and -sdk target images. We can create -dev and -sdk versions of any image recipe by adding the following image features:
tools-sdk: Adds developing tools to the target image. This is already included in the available-sdkimages but not on-devimages.tools-debug: Adds debugging tools to the target image. This is already included in the available-sdkimages but not on-devimages.dev-pkgs: Adds development packages with headers and libraries to the target image. This is included in both-sdkand-devimage types available.dbg-pkgs: Adds debug information to all packages in our image.
To just add native GDB debugging capabilities to an image such as core-image-minimal, we only need the dbg-pkgs and tools-debug features, which we can add with the following...
