Tutorial on Remote Debugging

[weaver4]

I am getting my tools up and running for the solidrun's hummingboard on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine.  The cross compiler is working great.  But now I need to do some remote debugging.  Is there any tutorial on how to set this up?

Do I need to make a script that will download the file and then remotely start the gdb-server?  Or is all of this taken care for me and all I need to do is to set up the Projects Debugger TCP address and port and it does the rest?

How do I set up the username and password to connect?
