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 increasing reliance on complex multicore designs is driving the need for comprehensive debugging tools that can answer a variety of challenges. With multiple cores and support structures often ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...

Regular readers may have gathered that I’m old, even though Network World is still using a picture of me from 10 years ago when I started writing this column in 2000. Certainly the (mostly) 18 to 22 ...

In embedded environments, where the reliability of one element of a design often dictates the reliability of the whole, issues such a real-time correctness is best achieved through "design-in" ...

Modern trace and debugging techniques. IDEs to use for trace and debugging. In computer programming and software development, engineers will deploy debugging tools and processes to find and mitigate ...

AI is reshaping how we code, debug, and collaborate. From Copilot to automation, it is changing software development in ways ...

Santa Cruz, Calif. — Swamped by the huge volume of 1s and 0s produced by verification tools, IC designers are struggling with visibility into the signal values they really want to see. A new type of ...
