an NFS root for example. Refer :ref:`nfsroot` for further details how to
make use of it. In case of a debug session, this directory can be used
by a modern GDB for its sysroot as well by using
- ``set sysroot </path/to/workspace>/|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root``.

- Target’s root filesystem image intended to be used as system filesystem root
- for a debugger. The difference to ``|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root/`` is, all
- programs and libraries in this directory still have their debug information
- present. To be used by the debugger, we should setup our debugger with
- ``set sysroot </path/to/workspace>/|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root-debug``.
- Please note: this feature will fade-out soon. It is replaced by a long
