ARM, one of the twenty-first century microprocessor standards, has a major presence in SoCs. A 32-bit RISC, it was designed for mid- to low-level applications. It was also designed for low-power ...

Mark Henderson of Long Beach, CA has started a “Kickstarter” program for a debug tool that he says, “will be the first tool you’ll use when chasing issues in your electronic product”. He calls it “tiq ...

The SH-5 is a 64-bit embedded architecture developed and licensed by SuperH, Inc. The SH-5 is a general purpose architecture with broad support for multimedia software through its SIMD instructions. A ...

Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

Highly integrated embedded systems are becoming so complex that component integration in these systems, as well as the resulting system test and diagnosis, is becoming a significant challenge. The ...

There was a time when debugging was not easy. In this blog I want to share some of the stuff I used to do to debug code and hardware – the hard way. So going back to when I started out in the 80’s ...

Researchers at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have developed a system for finding computer bugs in small devices that scavenge their energy from their environment and are subject ...

The race to process more data faster using less power is creating a series of debug challenges at the system level, where developers need to be able to trace interactions across multiple and often ...
