Leaks, Dangling Pointers, Double Free, and Buffer Overflows

Learn to identify, debug, and prevent common memory errors like leaks, dangling pointers, double free, and buffer overflows using Valgrind and ASan.

Debugging embedded Linux systems with the Raspberry Pi 5. Covers printf, logging with journald, assertions, and remote GDB.

Native debugging of C/C++ applications on the Raspberry Pi 5 using the GNU Debugger (GDB), covering theory and hands-on examples.

Learn techniques and use ESP-IDF tools to detect, diagnose, and prevent memory leaks in ESP32 applications, especially when using dynamic allocation.

Analyze the runtime performance of your ESP32 applications using tools like GDB, tracing, and ESP-IDF’s profiling features to identify bottlenecks.

Implement custom exception handlers and crash dump analysis routines on ESP32 to gather more detailed information when software failures occur.

Analyze and optimize FreeRTOS task stack usage on ESP32 to prevent stack overflows and minimize RAM consumption in memory-constrained applications.

Implement robust error handling for I2C communication on ESP32, detecting issues like NACKs, bus errors, and timeouts for reliable operation.

Implement effective logging and monitoring for ESP32 applications using ESP-IDF’s logging library. Configure levels, tags, and output destinations.
