Hi,
I'm not entirely sure if this is bug or feature.
I've created sdk to my image with populate_sdk - command. I noticed
that in the SDK the x86_64 - directory is 384MB and that contains all
the toolchains etc., but the target side
(cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi) is 5.7GB. Majority of it is in
.debug - directories.
What causes the confusion here is that I haven't enabled debug-symbols
in my local.conf and I don't have any other debug stuff enabled there
either. Are those the debug-symbols that can be used to debug software
on target with GDB for example? I thought that debug symbol
information needs to be separately enabled.
If they are not, then can I get rid of them somehow?
SDKIMAGE_FEATURES ??= "dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs src-pkgs
${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'api-documentation', 'doc-pkgs',
'', d)}"
SDKs by default contain debug symbols, and yes they can be used with gdb
to debug on target.
If you don't want them in the SDK, remove dbg-pkgs (and src-pkgs whilst
you're there) from SDKIMAGE_FEATURES.
