Scope

Goal is to provide a reference crash upload solution to RDK-B community

Architecture

How to setup a simple file server in local Host machine(MacBook)

• python3 -m uploadserver 8080 &

  • http://10.2.156.149:8080/upload

• dmcli eRT getv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_Syndication.CrashPortal CR component name is: eRT.com.cisco.spvtg.ccsp.CR subsystem_prefix eRT. Execution succeed. Parameter 1 name: Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_Syndication.CrashPortal type: string, value: http://10.2.156.149:8080/upload

CPE configurations

• ulimit -c unlimited

code repo

• https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/rdk/components/generic/crashupload

Build side

• inherit breakpad-wrapper  ------- to generate symbols in the build

• ~/kernel66$ ls build-bananapi4-rdk-broadband/tmp/deploy/breakpad_symbols/ bananapi4-rdk-broadband cpokur625@dvm-yocto4-docker-cpokur625:~/kernel66$ ls build-bananapi4-rdk-broadband/tmp/deploy/breakpad_symbols/bananapi4-rdk-broadband/

Appendix

Process to upload dumps to server in RDK-B Component

• • Integrate breakpad for the RDK-B component if it is not already integrated.
  • Add crashupload package to the respective .bbappend file
  • Make necessary changes in uploadDumps.sh and add it as a patch in crashupload_git.bbappend
  • Install the uploadDumps.sh and its dependencies in respective crashupload.bbappend file
  • Add requirements and dependencies to coredump-upload.service and coredump-upload.path in the crashupload_git.bbappend file.
  • 
  • 
  • After building the component, flash the image in RPI4 and check whether coredump-upload.path and coredump-upload.service files were added in systemd or not.
  • Check both the files are in active state or not.
  • Generate a crash on the component and it will create .dmp file in /minidumps/ folder and coredump-upload.path triggers coredump-upload.service to upload the dump files to crash portal.
  • Below logs will be generated during the execution of uploadDumps and same can be seen in /rdklogs/logs/core_log.txt
       
  • Check from server side the upload was successful or not.
  • 
  • Attached procedure for installing breakpad and generating crash in local machine.
