I wasn't able to find any rdi log or debug commands.

(gdb) help set rdi
Ambiguous set command "rdi": rdiheartbeat, rdiromatzero.

There were some remote* commands (remotedebug, remotelogfile), but as I
understand it these have no effect with rdi. They only work with remote
gdb stubs.

Is there a rdi debug mode I can't find?
