In a previous
post, we
discussed how to automate some of the more tedious parts of debugging firmware
using
Python in GDB Scripts. To
make these commands more powerful, one could use third-party packages from
Python’s PyPi repository. In this post, we will discuss how
to properly setup GDB and Python and then modify the uuid_list_dump command
from the post mentioned above to make use of a third party package installed
through PyPi.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://interrupt.memfault.com/blog/using-pypi-packages-with-GDB
