Tools

All tools are located in source tree under tools.

memory-dump-reader

Memory dump reader is a simple desktop utility for dumping and collecting memory information of the Sailfish Browser. Current version of the memory-dump-reader is a work-in-progress version.

Compilation

• Change directory to the tools/memory-dump-reader
• <qmake-bin-path>/qmake
• make

Reading and collecting

Once memory-dump-reader is compiled, run it like: dumpMemoryInfo /tmp/fileName.gz ip-of-the-device. The script dumps remotely memory information of the browser and copies the dump to the desktop. The dumpMemoryInfo script works best when you have added your public ssh key as an authorized key of the device.
