OpenIoT & ELC 2016

Analyzing Linux kernel behaviour, understanding if it meets app developers' expectations, and having repeatable tests across different platforms is usually a daunting task. Sharing results and reproducing tests outside a team's boundary is even harder, where developers are usually left to come up with their own custom scripts for testing: no common language has been available.

In this talk, Patrick Bellasi will introduce the new Linux Integrated System Analysis framework (namely LISA) which can make distributed development & test easier, along with a demonstration of Trace Analysis and Profiling, written in python, (TRAPpy) using a web-browser. TRAPpy provides a customized graphical view of filtered & processed trace data, and is ideal for detailed debug scenarios.

These tools have been recently opensourced by ARM to improve Linux-based device testing and trace visualization.
