Embedded systems can contain many different types of devices including microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, RAM, EPROMs, FPGAs, A/Ds, and D/As. These various devices must communicate with each ...

Amber Vanderburg discusses how engineering leaders can spot and fix the “silent bugs” in team dynamics before they turn into bigger delivery problems.

Part one introduces the hardware used for debugging, the debugging challenges facing DSP programmers, and debugging methodologies.Part three explains how emulators control programs on the DSP through ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

Debugging microcontrollers is both a technical and creative challenge, bridging code analysis with hardware checks. Whether working with Arduino boards, PICkit 3 programmers, or ESP32-powered projects ...

Complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs with multiple embedded processors and IP blocks present difficult debug challenges. First Silicon Solutions' (FS2) Multi-Core Embedded Debug (MED) system extends ...

If you run into problems building, testing or running complex bash scripts, don’t lose heart. There are many ways you can help ensure that your scripts will work flawlessly. In this post, we’ll ...

[Robert Morrison] had an ancient HP 545A logic probe, which was great for debugging SMT projects. The only problem was that being 45 years old, it wasn’t quite up to scratch when it came to debugging ...
