+This tool allows you to debug an application built with XDS without the need to install gdb or any cross tools.
Two debugging models are supported:
1. native debugging
-
1. XDS remote debugging requiring an XDS agent/server setup and that allows you to cross debug your application.
By default XDS debug model is used and you need to define `XDS_NATIVE_GDB`
