Embedded systems are becoming more complex. The trend in silicon design has been to put the whole system on a single chip. While there are many advantages, one primary disadvantage of embedding the ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

If you write code for Linux systems, chances are you will have used the venerable GNU Debugger (GDB). Acting as a back end for many GUIs and the interface to various JTAG debugging tools in the ...

Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...

Tools for debugging embedded systems range from software monitors and simulators, which are independent of the hardware under development, to custom silicon for in-circuit emulation, which replaces ...

Anticipating bugs properly is half the battle. If you use all of the tools at your disposal, you might even win the war. Academics who study software engineering have accumulated an impressive number ...

In the present design environment for embedded systems and the small footprint iAppliances, engineers are faced with multiple challenges in what used to be a relatively straightforward process. From ...

A new embedded debugger is the first in system JTAG based debugger for Intel x86 platforms. According to Asset InterTech, the debugger implements hardware based run control in system firmware. Once it ...
