Part two explains the workings of the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan technology. In software development, perhaps the most critical, yet least predictable stage in the process is debugging. Many ...

The proliferation and expansion of multicore architectures is making debug much more difficult and time-consuming, which in turn is increasing demand for more comprehensive system-level tools and ...

Embedded designers put microprocessors in everyday products like cars, phones, cameras, TVs, music players, and printers, as well as the communications infrastructure, which the general public doesn’t ...

Gilbert Laurenti, Texas Instruments Inc. Abstract Debug for SoC adds new requirements and challenges in terms of adding visibility and control to a system, simplifying integration of hardware and ...

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 ...

Any developer, but above all the firmware or software developer, building a complex, microprocessor-based embedded product faces an enormous challenge to get a reliable, high performance product to ...

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 ...

Time and time again, there is one activity that always cannibalizes an embedded software project's financial and delivery budget: debugging. The average embedded software developer spends 20 – 40% of ...
