    • Post-mortem for SystemView

      I've been reading the docs on SystemView.

      According to the documentation, to use SystemView in the post-mortem mode, you need to connect to the target without resetting, etc.Is this true? I was hoping that I could use SystemView for debug, then, if a unit in the field panics, save the SystemView buffer to a file, download the file later, and figure out what went wrong. It doesn't sound like this is the way the tool works, but I'd like to make sure.

    • Hello David,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      The default method for using the post-mortem analysis is to connect to the target without resetting or modifying the RAM.
      In case that you want to save the buffer in a file, this is also possible. Then you have to copy the SystemView buffer to the corresponding file when your system enters the fault handler.
      For more information about both methods see: segger.com/doc/UM08027_SystemView.html#Post_mortem_analysis


      Best regards,
