The debug symbols (kernel and user space) would be handy as it would allow us to dig down into the source code views, and additionally we could then also use the DS-5 debugger to debug.

 

It will be good to have the kernel headers so that we could rebuild the gator driver. (handy as DS-5 and Linaro releases are not guaranteed to be in sync)

 

Best regards,

Lukas

+Robert Kaye  who had actually asked for the debug symbols .

I don't think we need the debug symbols. Loading the libraries from the system tar ball was sufficient for me to profile using ds-5 .Alternately if we build a "userdebug" buildtype image instead of "eng" we need not load the libraries also for profiling using DS-5 .The functions are resolved by DS-5 from the debug build.
