These tools can be added to your target image either individually or with the tools-profile feature. To use the tools, we also need to include debug information in our applications. To this extent we should use the -dbg version of the packages, or better, configure Yocto so that debug information is generated with the dbg-pkgs image feature. To add both features to your images, add the following to your project's conf/local.conf file:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "tools-profile dbg-pkgs" 

The -sdk version of target images already adds these features.
