Adding Coredumps to Your Debugging Toolkit

Learn how to enhance your debugging capabilities with coredumps in this 26-minute conference talk by Eric Johnson from Memfault. Explore the challenges of investigating root causes of device faults, especially in deployed devices, and discover why traditional debugging methods like local debugging and logging have limitations. Understand the advantages of using coredumps to capture detailed insights into device operation at the time of fault in a non-invasive manner. Gain knowledge about the Zephyr coredump subsystem, its configuration for various scenarios, and how to utilize GDB with coredumps. Discover practical examples of coredumps in action and learn how to leverage this valuable debugging resource to catch existing issues and monitor specific data. By the end of this talk, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to add coredumps to your debugging toolkit and improve your ability to diagnose and resolve complex device faults.
