hello_0.1.bb file compiles the hello.cpp file, it generates several packages.
The following table lists the packages that are relevant to the coredump.
Table: Packages required for parsing coredumps
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
hello_0.1-r0_armv8-2a.rpm | This package includes a stripped executable and is the only package included in the device image. |
hello-dbg_0.1-r0_armv8-2a.rpm | This package includes the debug symbols and is never packed in the image. The debug package (-dbg) significantly increases the image size, causing problems when including it. Apart from debugging, this package has no runtime value. Therefore, as a strategy, Yocto doesn’t include any -dbg package in the image. |
hello-dev_0.1-r0_armv8-2a.rpm | This package includes the exported headers and libraries that dependent modules use during compilation. |
tmp/deploy/rpm/armv8-2a stores the debug symbols. For example, tqftpserv-dbg_0.0+0+de42697a24-r0_armv8-2a.rpm package includes the debug symbols for the /usr/bin/tqftpserv directory.
To push the debug symbols to the device, do the following using SSH:
- Remount the rootfs.
- Using the
scpcommand, push the debug symbols (tqftpserv-dbg_0.0+0+de42697a24-r0_armv8-2a.rpm) to the device at any available partition such as/data/. - Install debug symbols on the device.
After you push the debug symbols to the device, the system saves the symbols at the path of the executable directory in the
.debugdirectory. For example, if the executable is in the/usr/bin/tqftpservdirectory, then the system saves the debug symbols in the/usr/bin/.debugdirectory. - To identify the debug symbols that are available on the device, run the following commands:
