Video Source: http://free-electrons.com/blog/elce-2012-videos/

Software complexity in CE products increased a lot while time to market becomes shorter. This resulted in more software crashes happening during QA testing and when the product is in the market.The presentation will explain how in TPVision products (Philips TV's) we have addressed this by developing diagnostic tools to enable fast and easy analysis of software crashes.

software crash detection (segmentation fault, stack overflow, out of memory, ...)
dump/backtrace generation
kernel and userspace tracing
trace visualisation
remote diagnostics

The presentation will contain both standard linux infrastructure which is used and where we have extended this with proprietary solutions. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKy1gAAHREE
