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 ...

As part of a continuing effort to determine what is different between embedded software and application level software, this week’s design feature (“Shedding light on embedded debugging“) explores how ...

A growing number of embedded developers are experimenting with the Linux kernel and system services as a basis for new application development. But those developers embarking on the use of Linux as a ...

Microcontroller debuggers and associated tools are essential for developers working on embedded systems. They help developers find and fix bugs, test code and optimize performance. Advanced debugging ...

As with many Linux-related topics, the issue of using debuggers to troubleshoot the Linux kernel is not only technical--it's political. Linux is being mostly developed on the x86 platform, which does ...

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 ...
