Software Build Settings for GNUPro

For the example design you will produce two versions of the software build settings for GNUPro: debug settings and release settings. For the debug settings version you will not apply optimization, but include debug information to facilitate using the GNU Insight debugger. You will apply optimization to the release settings version, but debug information is unnecessary because the release settings version will only be used when the software code has been debugged and is known to be working. The release settings version of the software build produces a software image that is faster than the software image produced with debug settings.
