Profiling with Heaptrack and Hotspot on Embedded Linux
In this talk we will give an introduction to Heaptrack for heap memory profiling and Hotspot and linux perf for on-CPU and off-CPU profiling.
The focus lies on leveraging these two FOSS tools in common embedded linux workflows. We will go over the most important features and also outline some of the recent development related to the two projects.
