+Sanitizers are particularly helpful when working with unsafe code which.
+Rust has unstable support for compiling programs with a sanitizer[^1], the documentation was insufficient for me to get started.
+This is a brief guide on how to build and run a program with AddressSanitizer enabled.
+Note that the instructions are specific to an aarch64 device, but adapting them for other architectures should be easy.
+
+Ensure the app is installed so we can patch it:
+```shell
+cargo-acap-sdk install -- -p $AXIS_PACKAGE
+```
+
+Ensure the asan library is in place so that we can load it:
+```shell
+scp /opt/axis/acapsdk/sysroots/aarch64/usr/lib/libasan.so.8.0.0 $AXIS_DEVICE_USER@$AXIS_DEVICE_IP:/tmp/libasan.so
+```
+
+Compile the tests:
+```shell
+CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=--sysroot=/opt/axis/acapsdk/sysroots/aarch64 -C link-arg=-lasan -Zsanitizer=address -Z external-clangrt" \
+cargo +nightly build \
+  --package $AXIS_PACKAGE \
+  --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu \
+  --tests
+```
+
+Find the executable:
+```shell
+find target/ -executable -name $AXIS_PACKAGE-\*  -type f
+```
+
+Upload the executable:
+```shell
+scp <EXECUTABLE> $AXIS_DEVICE_USER@$AXIS_DEVICE_IP:/usr/local/packages/$AXIS_PACKAGE/$AXIS_PACKAGE
+```
+
+Run the executable:
+```shell
+ssh $AXIS_DEVICE_USER@$AXIS_DEVICE_IP LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/libasan.so /usr/local/packages/$AXIS_PACKAGE/$AXIS_PACKAGE
+```
