Hi Mike,
GdbSyms can be built separately from the debugged image. It produces a
DLL file to load while starting GDB so that it properly detects the
target once connected. The associated gdb_uefi.py script loads it with
symbol-file to get some info required to find the system table, etc
(see search_est function).
I'm using this script (with QEMU only, not sure about other platforms,
but could work I guess?) and have a Python 3 port if someone needs it.
Thanks, Richard

Hi Rebecca,
This content does not look OVMF specific.
Does it depend on QEMU? Or would this
Potentially work on any target that supports
gdb?
How about adding to SourceLevelDebugPkg as
an another method to load symbols? Not sure
why the extra module is required. The Debug
Image Info Table is defined to be on a 4MB
boundary and can be found with a search.

Subject: [edk2-devel] Adding DebugPkg to the main edk2
repo
I think this has been discussed previously, but since
time has passed
I'd like to check again: is there any possibility of
having the DebugPkg
from https://github.com/andreiw/andreiw-
wip/tree/master/uefi/DebugPkg
added to the main edk2 repo in some way (perhaps not as
DebugPkg, but
renamed/reorganized/integrated)?
It seems such a useful addition for debugging UEFI code
running under
OVMF that it would be nice to have it somewhere it has
less chance of
bitrotting.
