What to Do When It's Already Too Late? Crash Dumps in Embedded Projects

Programs crash. So far, so well-known. But how can we learn from our mistakes and use the errors to learn and improve?

In my talk, I will give a short overview of what is still possible when an application crashes. The talk will be custom-tailored for embedded devices. Here, I explain traditional signal handlers, dumps, debugging, and show how we use a combination of Yocto, Google Breakpad, and Sentry to produce, enhance, and collect crash information to our needs.
