In a huge software project for an embedded application, a function behaved in a strange fashion. A variable, which must not be changed while the function is executed, was changed. The function itself ...

I’ve always regarded debugging as the most difficult of engineering disciplines, whether it’s for still-on-the-bench prototypes or fielded products. It’s a hard skill to teach, takes a lot of ...

For years, semiconductor industry surveys have shown that functional verification is the dominant phase in chip development and that debug is the most time-consuming task for verification. The problem ...

Verification engineers continually report that up to 70% of the total engineering time spent on verification is consumed by debug, particularly when relying on disparate tools across multiple vendors.

Pretty much any large system-on-chip (SoC) design today will have multiple processor cores in it. Often these are part of a subsystem handling communications, audio or video, alongside one or more ...
