Employing Coredumps to Debug Your Embedded Devices

Memfault knows firsthand how difficult identifying and solving the root causes of firmware faults can be, particularly for devices in the field. Local debugging and logging subsystems are commonly used to determine the issue cause, however, these tools are limited and invasive. This is where coredumps become helpful! Coredumps, an underutilized debugging resource, can provide valuable insights as they contain highly structured data that can be easily parsed.

Understanding Battery Performance of IoT Devices

I’ve been a firmware engineer at two wearable companies in the past, Pebble and Fitbit, and there was always one class of customer support tickets and user complaints that never went away: issues around battery life. It was a constant game of whack-a-mole with every new firmware version introducing a battery regression.

Azure IoT: Enabling the Future of Connectivity

As we stand on the brink of the fourth industrial revolution, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key player in this brave new world. It’s akin to a jigsaw puzzle, providing the bits and pieces that, when properly assembled, can give rise to a complete and holistic picture of our digitized environment. At the heart of this transformation lies Microsoft’s Azure IoT, a comprehensive suite of services and solutions tailored to unlock the full potential of IoT.

Enhancements to Alerting and Notification Functionality in Memfault

In this video, I will be discussing the new enhancements that we have made to the alerting and notification functionality within Memfault. These enhancements include configurable incident start and end delays, the ability to decide when your team receives notifications during an incident, and increased control over the scheduling of incident summary notifications. Our goal is to reduce noise without sacrificing visibility, giving users greater control over notification and alerting behaviors. Watch this video to learn how to take advantage of these new features and improve your monitoring experience.

Feature Highlight Rollup by Cohort or by Software Version

In this video, I will be showcasing our newly released metric chart type called "Rollup by Cohort or by Software Version." This chart type provides an overtime view of your metric performance, allowing you to compare between software versions or cohorts. Unlike the existing chart types, which have an eight-week time window limitation, this new view enables absolute comparisons of performance across software versions. I will demonstrate how to make performance comparisons and explain the benefits of using this chart type. If you have any questions, please reach out to our team.

Simplified Debugging with the Device Timezone Feature in Memfault

In this quick demo, Jesse Dukes introduces you to Memfault's Device Timezone feature. This feature allows users to adjust the timezone, ensuring that all information viewed in Memfault is contextualized for that session. We made updates to the feature to help international teams working with globally deployed devices to contextualize, coordinate and collaborate.

Matter, Thread, and Memfault

I’m Markus, software engineer @ Tridonic, where we are working on Internet-connected wireless lighting solutions based on the Matter standard. To be able to monitor the reliability of those devices we’ve been using Memfault and tied it into Matter/Thread and its UDP/IPv6 stack based on the Nordic Connect SDK. In the following, I’ll show you the modifications we’ve done to enable Memfault in an IPv6 solution. Like Interrupt?
