 in the console while you are debugging and turn it off again when you are done using `xhost -`.
 
+SSH algorithms that some old embeded devices use may be outdate, there is a compiable method via using `algorithms`. `kex`, `cipher`,`compress`, `hmac`, `serverHostKey` are known to be supported in `algorithms`, data format of these keys is array. Specific content can be referred to [msc/ssh](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2) (`Client methods`->`connect`->`algorithms`) .

 Because some builds requires one or more environment files to be sourced before running any
 command, you can use the `ssh.bootstrap` option to add some extra commands which will be prepended
 to the debugger call (using `&&` to join both).
