I'm getting nowhere on this. Is there some documentation that explains how
remote debugging from the Yocto plugin works, so that I can maybe figure out
what's going wrong? I'm not getting an SSH connection, and there's no sshd
running in the target. All the tutorials, including the Yocto docs and
various other vendors' explanations, tell you what to do and assume that it
will all work, but don't provide any clue as to what to do when it doesn't
work.
