Installing
readelf
(268KB on RPi2) in a non-release image is quite useful during development.Other
elfutils
binaries might also be useful, eg.objdump
(55KB on RPi2)?These are all the
elfutils
binaries (from RPi2 build):We already install
strings
frombinutils
(it's needed byrpi-eeprom
), at the moment there doesn't seem any reason to change that, particularly as we're only building these binaries fordevel
. However if that changes (and we always build the binaries for the target) then usingstrings
fromelfutils
might make more sense.I could have installed
readelf
frombinutils
(which would have been a lot easier!) but there are various claims on the internet thatelfutils
has the "best" version (smaller, faster, more functional) so I've gone withelfutils
, unless anyone has any concerns.
