Efficient and Practical Capturing of Crash Data on Embedded Systems

Explore the minicoredumper project, a powerful tool designed to make core dumps viable for embedded systems with limited storage space. Learn how this set of userspace tools extends the Linux core dump facility, allowing fine-grained control over crash data capture. Discover how to reduce application core dumps to as little as 4KB, making them practical for embedded systems. Gain insights into the project's inner workings and see real-world scenarios demonstrating its application in embedded systems. Understand how the minicoredumper overcomes the challenges of limited read-write space in production environments, enabling detailed inspection of stack traces and data contents during crash investigations.
