What is Crashupload?

Crashupload is a robust crash dump management system for RDK devices that automatically:

  • 🔍 Discovers crash dumps (minidumps and coredumps)
  • 📦 Archives dumps with associated log files
  • 🔐 Uploads securely via HTTPS with TLS 1.2
  • ⚡ Rate limits to prevent flooding (10 uploads / 10 minutes)
  • 🎯 Detects crash loops and handles intelligently

Implementations

Compiled C Code (Modern)

  • ⚡ 2x faster startup (80-100ms vs 150-200ms)
  • 💾 40% less memory (4-6MB vs 8-10MB)
  • 🔒 More secure (no shell injection risks)
  • ✅ 100% test coverage (69 unit tests)

👉 See Crashupload - Compiled Code for details

Shell Scripts (Legacy)

  • 📜 Backward compatible with older RDK builds
  • 🔄 Automatic fallback when binary unavailable
  • 🛠️ Widely deployed across existing devices

👉 See Crashupload - Script Method for details
