Linux debugging, profiling, tracing and performance analysis training

Learn how to debug, trace, profile and analyze the performance of Linux systems and applications.

About this event

An online seminar corresponding to Bootlin's Linux debugging, profiling, tracing and performance analysis training course, described with full details on https://bootlin.com/training/debugging/. It is delivered over 4 half-days of 4 hours each.

The sessions will alternate between lectures and live demonstrations made by the trainer on real hardware. The live demonstrations will be made using the ARM-based STMicroelectronics STM32MP157D-DK1 platform. Even though this particular platform is used for the live demonstrations, the course remains perfectly useful and valid regardless of the specific hardware platform used in your projects.

Hardware requirements for the course

Besides a computer, an audio headset and a good Internet connection, there are no special requirements to attend this course: the practical labs are performed as live demonstrations by the trainer.

However, if you are interested in reproducing the practical labs by yourself, during the time between the sessions, you can purchase the following hardware items:

• STM32MP1 Discovery Kit 1, see ST web site to purchase from various distributors. Note that if the 157D variant is not available, the older 157A variant will also work fine.
• USB-C cable for the power supply
• USB-A to micro B cable for the serial console
• microSD card of minimum 8 GB capacity

Please note that if you want to reproduce the practical labs by yourself, you need to schedule additional time, outside of the session hours.

Again: having this hardware is NOT mandatory to follow the course. Many course participants follow our courses without having the corresponding hardware, and the course is very useful even without the hardware.
