After your remote debugging connection is established, it’s time to solve real-world problems. In this second part, Christoph Sterz demonstrates how to use your remote debugging setup to act as if you were running the code directly on your desktop.

We dive into a real-world scenario: a ship navigation app that crashes on the target device. You'll see how to catch a segmentation fault, interpret stack traces, and identify common pitfalls like lambda lifetime issues in Qt. We also wrap up with QML profiling, showing you how to pinpoint performance bottlenecks and slow frames directly on the hardware.

"Works on my machine" is a luxury you rarely have in embedded development. To fix bugs effectively on your target hardware, you first need the right infrastructure. In this video, Christoph Sterz explains the essential setup required for professional-grade embedded debugging.

We start by demystifying debug symbols: where they are hidden in your SDK, how to manage "split debug" files in Yocto, and how to use elfutils to handle your binaries. Finally, we walk through the setup for remote debugging using gdbserver, allowing you to keep your heavy symbol files on your laptop while controlling the application running on your device.

The video explains how to use the Heaptrack and Hotspot tools (on top of Linux perf) to profile C++ and other compiled-language applications on Linux, especially in embedded contexts, focusing on both CPU time and heap usage to systematically find and fix bottlenecks.

Shipping your app with all dependencies is hard. One way to solve this, is to use Docker on Embedded to combine all dependencies into a single update. In this video, Christoph presents Torizon, one Docker-based solution to handle images and updates on Embedded.

Building an embedded device is a challenge in itself, but bringing it to market means even more work. In this short 'Insights' video, Christoph describes what KDAB did for their customer Kistler, who builds some of the most precise pressure-measurement devices available, to bring a very mobile, handheld device from prototype to market.

In this video, Christoph explains how to configure, create and schedule Over-The-Air Update Builds in the Yocto buildsystem.

This is the fourth and final video in the embedded Linux series, which goes over development environment considerations.

This third video goes over the choices you have for the entire software stack from the OS to the application and gives you things to consider at every step.

This second video in the series of four, covers the numerous planning considerations that go into choosing your hardware to help you expediate your development process.

This is the first video in a series based on a whitepaper about designing your first embedded device; it covers the beginning and ending of the product development process.
