• 
• 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
