It’s common for a typical OS design project to cumulate in thousands of files that occupy well over 1 GB of storage during the build process to generate an OS run-time image. Without understanding how these files come together to form the final OS run-time image, searching for problems is often like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As part of the OS design development process, you are expected to carry out debugging tasks. Following are some examples:

  • The OS design build process ended with an error and failed to generate an OS run-time image. You need to figure out what is causing the build error.
  • The OS design build process completed successfully and generated an OS run-time image. However, the OS run-time image cannot boot. You need to figure out what is preventing the OS run-time image from completing the boot process.
  • The OS design build process completed successfully and generated an OS run-time image. However, some of the features configured as part of the OS design cannot function. You need to figure out why these configured features failed to function as intended.
