FWIW, this total system crash has been isolated to the kernel. Kernel
5.17.5-76051705 crashes. Which was pushed out to apt on, guess what,
May 26, 2022, the date my computer went to hades.
Kernel 5.15.0-37-generic does not crash. Kernel 5.18.2 also crashes,
only if I use TyCommander, but not necessarily during a USB flashing. I
had 5.18.2 crash while I was using Firefox, but while Arduino IDE and
TyCommander were active.
Now running on 5.15 and things are stable.
I know nothing about kernels and stuff like this. Been forced into it.
An average Joe like me shouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing.
TyCommander works fine on an RPI4 running Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit, which
as I understand it is a Debian derivative. The kernel is 5.15.30,
according to Wikipedia. Not looking forward to an update of that kernel.
I have no idea how to make a minimal dying example for any developers...

Me, I am writing code to make an electronic lead screw for my lathe.
Motor control works with NEMA-24 stepper motor and rotary encoder.
Working on the UI on a touch panel tft display. Or, I was, until my
laptop crashed...

your own computer is crapping out. Much easier, when it is someone

transferring my life to an RPI4, which hasn't been as easy as it
seems like it should. Writing this on my RPI4-8GB with RaspiOS-64bit.

==============================================================================================================
Pop-OS-64 bit. 22.04. Fresh install over existing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
I need to reboot the computer to get the kernel stuff. Will followup
with uname -a.
Problem occurs when using USB to program Teensy 4.1 microcontroller.
Active programs at time of crash = Arduino IDE V 1.8.19, Teensyduino
1.56 (required to allow Arduino to recognize and program Teensy
microcontrollers), and Tytools, 0.9.7, which is a tool to program and
manage Teensy processors. Prior to 26 May 2022, this all worked
flawlessly.
And, the above SW does work flawlessly on the RPI4B, running
RaspberryPiOS-64bit, but not on my laptop. On my laptop I get system
crashes.
Only clues I have found are in syslog, and dmesg, but they only show
some normal USB transactions, then the computer powering up again.
Thanks Ben, for at least answering (humoring?) me. Been an awful
week with this crash. These crashes are so bad, that there's
practically nothing in the logs. Last entry is using the USB port.
And the power turns off. This is a stab at it. Let me know if
there's anything else I need to add. Beats me what the crucial
details are, if I knew them, it would have been fixed by now.
The title of the thread was really about how to go about doing the
debugging. The methodology. It's improbable that anyone else would
have experienced this particular crash type.

Long meandering messages with critical details hidden throughout and
others omitted entirely will reduce the likelihood that others will
give you help for free. (Or even when paid.)
In particular, specify what hardware you have, and the software you're
running, in one place. If it's a scavenger hunt just to find that
information you'll get a poor response. I didn't see any mention of
the model of machine, for example. List major components with model
or type (CPU model and speed, RAM size, type and size of storage,
model/type video controller, etc.). You mention distribution and
version, which is good, but also please provide kernel version. Also
include steps to reproduce (when it happens, when it doesn't),
commands you've tried, places you've looked for files, error messages
received, etc., etc.
I know you've been around long enough that you've seen plenty of bug
reports and knowledge base articles and the like. Follow their
example.
