Debugging information is about 5 to 15 times larger than an Image, and sometimes due to memory or disk space constraints, it is not possible
to use GDB directly on the remote target to debug applications because GDB needs to load the debugging information.
Hence the need for debuginfod from "elfutils" which is a way to make debugging information available on a server for easy debug and distribution of "debuginfo" files.
In this talk we'll go through how to setup and enable "debuginfod" in your image. We'll use a build Image example to demonstrate how "debuginfod" works on the host and Target.
