[meta-xilinx] How to develop?

[Rich Wilson]

Somehow, all the documentation and all the parts don't fit together
in my brain, and I am reduced to asking what should be simple questions
here.

I have an SDK. I can compile, copy to the SD card, boot my zedboard,
and run programs. That's not very convenient. How do I get my application
to the
SD card without a bunch of SD card gymnastics (remove, mount, cp, umount,
reboot...) ?

How about nfs? I would like to have an nfs client on my target.
Googling, I added the following to my local.conf:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " nfs"
Now I
bitbake -c populate_sdk core-image-basic
There still seems to be something missing though: When I try an nfs mount,
(typed by hand)
# mount 192.168.1.40:/ /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, ... you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper
program)

What's missing? How do I get it?

Are there better ways to get my compiled application from my development
machine to the target machine?

Thinking ahead, suppose I have a bug. I'd like to use gdbserver. How do I
get
that included into my build? And teach me to fish... where in the
documentation
should I have found this information?

Build Configuration:

TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "zedboard-zynq7"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.5.1"
TUNE_FEATURES     = " armv7a vfp neon zynq"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta

meta-yocto-bsp    = "<unknown>:<unknown>"
meta-xilinx       = "dora:aa7d677515ab7d45bbd3bdd6c5383f4143147c6d"
