The inferiors field identifies the images to load in one GDB session. For sysbuild configurations, the extension generates this field from the processor sessions and stop points that you select when starting debugging.

Each item supports the following fields:

Field Description Type
elfFile Path of the ELF file to load. String
entryPoint Optional GDB location at which to stop, such as main or *0x1000. String

The first item establishes the connection to the target. Additional items are loaded as GDB inferiors, which lets one session debug several images running on the same processor.
