Silicon real estate advances have inevitably led to the complete integration of microprocessor subsystems together with custom hardware and software on single devices. This advancement has brought ...

It’s no surprise to anyone that newly written software is rarely 100% bug-free. However, steps can be taken in the beginning to help reduce the number of issues that may appear in your code. Or, to ...

As your embedded applications get more complicated an On-Chip Debugger will save you a lot of time when things don’t run quite right. On-Chip Debugging (OCD) is just what it sounds like — a way to run ...

Verification engineers continually report that up to 70% of the total engineering time spent on verification is consumed by debug, particularly when relying on disparate tools across multiple vendors.

Having real comparisons will go a long way in allowing chipmakers to better understand what they are buying and why. Thinking back about DAC 2015 in San Francisco earlier this month, I am happy that ...

Every engineer knows the importance of having the right tools for the job. ARM big.LITTLE processing gives designers those tools. By taking advantage of a high-performance processor for ...

This is a bit of a laugh. I just saw a “tongue in cheek” David Letterman style “Top 10 Reasons” explaining why it’s a good idea to debug your circuit boards and systems using your OS and application ...

Debug often has been labeled the curse of management and schedules. It is considered unpredictable and often can happen close to the end of the development cycle, or even after – leading to frantic ...
