-## Troubleshooting
-
-TODO:
-
-* Record simple program (e.g. /bin/ls)
- * examine raw trace - look for overflows, corruption
-* Check no errors reported
- * mmap error indicates no route from source to sink - bad device tree
- * try nearer sink
- * data loss warning - bandwidth problems
- * What if data loss is reported?
- * Don't worry - strobing
