Re: Question about using NVDIMM for Linux Kernel debugging

Hello, I am doing Linux kernel work on an AMD Ryzen desktop PC. In particular, I'm trying to debug some hardware driver issues. The challenging aspect is that they that pop up daily and (of course...) randomly. As you are well aware, this can be painful in a production environment on actual hardware. Sometimes the computer just reboots or locks up, so having something persistent would be ideal. I would like to track down the issue by having some basic instrumentation of the kernel. After doing a little research, this looks like a great application for an NVDIMM. I would probably divide the nvdimm with ring buffers for each core of the CPU to avoid locks. The logging would just be simple fixed size records with a timestamp. Does this look doable for a reasonably priced NVDIMM? Or is there a better solution?
