+### Debugging
+
+A huge benefit of compiling Arduino programs using EpoxyDuino is that all the
+debugging tools in a Unix environment become automatically available. For
+example:
+
+* External Tools
+    * [Valgrind](https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html)
+    * [GDB Debugger](https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/)
+* Compiler Options
+    * [Address Sanitizer](https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer) (ASan)
+    * [Memory Sanitizer](https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/MemorySanitizer)
+      (MSan)
+    * [Undefined Behavior Sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html) (UBSan)
+
+I am not an expert on any of these sanitizers, and I have not enabled them by
+default in the `EpoxyDuino.mk` file. But you have the capability to add them to
+your `Makefile` through the `CXXFLAGS` variable.
+
+Below are some things that I have found useful in my own limited experience.
+
+<a name="Valgrind"></a>
+#### Valgrind
+
+I have found the [Valgrind](https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html)
+quite helpful in tracking down Segmentation Fault crashes. Here is a quick
+start:
+
+1. Compile your program using the `-g` flag.
+    * This is not strictly necessary but this will allow Valgrind to print line
+      numbers to the source code in the stack trace.
+    * Two ways:
+        * Pass the pass through the command line: `$ make CXXFLAGS=-g`
+        * Edit the `Makefile` and add a `CXXFLAGS += -g` directive
+          near the top of the file.
+2. Run the program under the `valgrind` program.
+    * Valgrind has tons of options and flags. Here are the flags that I use
+      (don't remember where I got them):
+        * `$ alias val='valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes
+        --show-reachable=yes --num-callers=20 --track-fds=yes'`
+        * `$ val ./MyProgram.out`
+
+When the program crashes because of a `nullptr` dereference, Valgrind will show
+exactly where that happened in the source code.
