An SOC (system on chip) includes many components, such as processors, timers, interrupt controllers, buses, memories, and embedded software. It is a complete system that designers a few years back ...

The increase in complexity of designs being prototyped on FPGAs has led to the increase in need for better debugging techniques. The design being prototyped on the FPGA may be used for performing ...

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 ...

Recent developer workflows and industry guides detail structured prompting strategies designed to make AI-assisted debugging more reliable. Ken Imoto adapts 10 human debugging practices into five ...

Simulation-based debug challenges arise when verifying the behavior of a power-managed SoC from the front-end design phase through the back-end implementation phase. We'd also like to recognize the ...

Modern PCIe systems are complex, with high-speed data transfer and intricate protocols. Traditional debug methods often struggle to provide the necessary granularity and real-time visibility into link ...

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 ...

Sometimes, in debug mode, you find yourself sitting on a line in a method that you have no interest in. What you actually want to do is to get back out of the method and stop in some method you've ...

How can we debug method calls that are not part of our own source code, say a call to JButton.setEnabled()? Java provides us with anonymous inner classes, which come in quite handy for this problem.
