Note on Debugging with GDB Stub
===============================
GDB stub is enabled on ESP32.
* When adding breakpoints, please use hardware breakpoints with command
``hbreak``. Command ``break`` uses software breakpoints which requires
modifying memory content to insert break/trap instructions.
This does not work as the code is on flash which cannot be randomly
accessed for modification.
