Kernel debug we  choosing jtag and wpa_supplicant choosing otg

1. rtl8723BU_WiFi module change to build in driver for debugging easier
gedit ~/OK8MM-android/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/arch/arm64/configs/android_defconfig
CONFIG_RTL8723BU=m
//change to
CONFIG_RTL8723BU=y

2. cancel depmod module load in android
gedit ~/OK8MM-android/device/fsl/imx8m/evk_8mm/BoardConfig.mk
BOARD_VENDOR_KERNEL_MODULES += $(KERNEL_OUT)/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8723BU_WiFi/8723bu.ko
//comment to
# BOARD_VENDOR_KERNEL_MODULES += $(KERNEL_OUT)/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8723BU_WiFi/8723bu.ko

3. wifi in kernel have those main trunks
(a) ~/OK8MM-android/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8723BU_WiFi
(b) ~/OK8MM-android/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/net/core
(c) ~/OK8MM-android/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/net/ipv4
(d) ~/root/OK8MM-android/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/net/wireless
Add this flag to those Makefile
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -O1

4. wpa_supplicant setting
~/OK8MM-android/external/wpa_supplicant_8/Android.mk
//find
LOCAL_MODULE := wpa_supplicant
//add flags before "include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)"
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -O1 -g
LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -O1 -g
LOCAL_STRIP_MODULE := false

5. add file ~/OK8MM-android/external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/gdb-androidx.cmds for eclipse [GDB command file]
//add follows
set directories $cwd:/root/OK8MM-android:/root/OK8MM-android/external/wpa_supplicant_8/src/drivers
set solib-absolute-prefix /root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols
set solib-search-path /root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols/system/lib64:/root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols/vendor/lib64:/root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols/system/bin:/root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols/vendor/bin:/root/OK8MM-android/out/target/product/evk_8mm/symbols/vendor/bin/hw
