In my last post I introduced the debugging challenges during porting, or developing native code, for Android. This time I would like to outline how virtual prototypes can enable software debugging and ...

As designs continue to grow in size and complexity, that complexity has led to an increasing number of processing cores. Additional cores, in turn, allow for additional software to be run on those ...

AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other top AI labs are increasingly being used to assist with programming tasks. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in October that 25% of new code at the company is ...

InfoQ interviewed Spinellis about different approaches for debugging software, how using different compilers or execution platforms can help to debug software, reproducing failures, how find and fix ...

The debugger is arguably one of the most important tools available to embedded software engineers. The debugger is capable of not only loading firmware on a microcontroller but can peer into the ...

Running a debugger like gdb with real-mode 16-bit code on the x86 platform is not the easiest thing to do, but incredibly useful when it comes to analyzing BIOS firmware and DOS software. Although ...

Part two explains the workings of the JTAG boundary-scan technology. Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Emulation is a technology used in the ...

This year has been a significant one for ASSET InterTech. The company, founded in 1995 as a spinoff of Texas Instruments, initially focused on boundary scan. In 2007, it acquired Ireland-based ...
