./waf debug?
never use it before, but this required to be connected to the pebble by a board or something right?
My debug instructions are specific for remote, for people that doesn't have a way to connect directly to the board, so they can only get logs by IP or get a coredump.
I can update to say that is intended for remote debugging mostly.

I forgot to add to the docs another useful command.
tools/analyze_coredump.py build/src/fw/tintin_fw.elf core.elf -o report.txt
but I got an error, probably because I have only installed with brew arm-none-eabi-gdb
