+# Core dump Debugging
+
+Ref: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/core_dump.html
+
+## Development
+### Core dump to UART then decode
+Enable _Core Dump to UART_
+- `idf.py menuconfig`
+- Component config
+- Core dump
+- Data destination (UART)
+
+From UART (e.g. `Putty`) output, cut the Base64 encoded data out; do not keep the `CORE DUMP START/END` lines.
+
+```
+================= CORE DUMP START =================
+<body of Base64-encoded core dump, save it to file on disk>
+================= CORE DUMP END ===================
+```
+
+Decode using `idf.py` as follows (you must provide some sort of port!)
+
+`idf.py coredump-info --core putty.log -p /dev/x >crash.log`
