Debugging a program that is part of a KPA package

Unlike debugging programs in a KasperskyOS-based solution, debugging a program in a KPA package means you don’t have to rebuild the entire KasperskyOS-based solution after updating the application code.

The scenario for debugging a program that is part of a KPA package looks as follows:

1. Install the KasperskyOS SDK Extension.
2. Build an application and package it into a KPA package. You must use the CMake commands of the kpa library to pack a program into a KPA package.
3. Run a basic KasperskyOS image from KasperskyOS Community Edition with a GDB server built into the kernel.
4. Connect the debugger to the GDB server of the kernel. The debugger can be connected at program startup or while the program is running. Details:
   • Connecting a debugger at program startup.
   • Connecting a debugger while a program is running.
5. Debugging a program using the Visual Studio Code graphical user interface. For more details, refer to the Visual Studio Code documentation: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging .
