Challenges of Deploying eBPF-based Tracing in Embedded Systems and Alternatives

Explore the challenges of implementing eBPF-based tracing in embedded systems and discover alternative solutions for embedded platforms. Learn about the limitations of eBPF in older Linux kernels and understand why Micron EBU opted for a libtracefs/libtraceevent-based approach. Compare eBPF and libtracefs/libtraceevent methods, examining their dependencies and kernel requirements. Gain insights into using libtracefs/libtraceevent as an alternative tracing method for embedded environments through a practical example.
