    HiSince this group is pretty new, I think it would be interesting for everybody to meet at a coffee place or for lunch/dinner to just socialize and talk, to see who does what and who has knowhow in a special area. It would be cool, if everybody could write a little Page on what their skills are and then all these pages get distributed to everybody and people can then find the name on the nametag and engage in very interesting conversations, since they will find like minded people that op

  • advanced gdb/ automated debugging

    Sun, 17 Apr 2011, 02:00 - 04:00 in Mountain View, United States

    I am interested in ideas like delta debugging, using python within gdb. Tools which can change the shared library loaded in an exe without restarting (if possible).I would like to attend a workshop on topics like these. Would this interest the rest of you folk? Does anyone have answers to these kind of questions?

  • Debugging Linux systems using GDB and QEMU

    Wed, 5 May 2010, 01:30 - 03:30 in Mountain View, United States

    A talk by Khem Raj.QEMU is a powerful tool and when combined with GDB it can enable developers to do source level debugging of system components that are much more difficult to debug without an emulator.Such things as early boot low level software e.g. bootloaders, kernels and dynamic linkers.This session will demonstrate how to create a set up for debugging an Embedded Linux kernel, u-boot bootloader, and system software e.g. dynamic linker using cross-gdb and QEMU.
