Description venkata ramana g 2012-10-09 09:55:36 UTC

--Requirement:

Debugging tools and binaries should be attached to target run time, only when needs debugging.

--Use case:

1.Space on an embedded target might not be sufficient to accommodate the debug image and debug tools.

--Suggestion:

1. Debug tools and binaries can be separated from initrd and maintained and attached to target run time using nfs mount during debugging.
   But needs to check handling in case of the network failure scenarios.

We already separate out the debug information from the binaries so I believe this issue has been resolved.
