The appeal of embedded systems is clear. A high degree of configurability, readily available commercial intellectual property (IP), and the use of well-understood and accepted protocols and bus ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...

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 ...

I'm doing some work with generating raw bit streams programmatically (as opposed to streaming something abstract like a file as a bit stream). As I tested the generated bits, I realized I don't know ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss debugging complex SoCs with Randy Fish, vice president of strategic accounts and partnerships for UltraSoC; Larry Melling, product management director for ...
