Customer : Qualcomm Semiconductors Private Ltd
Project Description:
Customizing the chips to latest version android from bring up to stable the chips for use to end user.
In order to stabilize the version of android various test is carried with testing team, varied from regression
testing, iteration testing, and product develop testing from the testing team, And share the dumps to android
stability team for analyzing the dumps and finding out the root cause for the crash either from the kernel side
and from the framework side. And interacting with the developer to fix the issue. And provide the build with
fix from the kernel side to the testing team to resolve the issue.
Issues debugged
 Watchdog dog bark and Watchdog bite issues, Unknown reset cases,
 Debugging DDR and Cache corruption
 debugging kernel panic issue,
 Debugged memory corruption issues.
 Debugging voltage related issues
 Debugging Framework related issues.
Roles & Responsibilities:
 Analyzing the dumps, which caused due to crash in the target, from the various test carried out.
 Analyzing the dumps from the kernel side, as well as from the framework side.
 Successfully debugged the watchdog bite, unknown reset, and memory corruption issue,
 Interacting with the respective subsystem developers for the fixing those issue.
 If the issue is from the kernel side, debugging further from kernel side to find the root cause for issue
and providing the fix for the issue.
 Handling the customer issues from the kernel side
